August 9, 2012. Western Head, NS. Smoked Salmon.

It really does taste better here.  Every season I forget but tonight at our little cocktail hour, I was reminded  of how good it really is.   The smoked salmon is just better here in Nova Scotia.  Now perhaps I was just hungry or perhaps the weather effected the flavor  but everyone commented on how good it tasted.  Dave and Irene bought the salmon in Port Mouton at the Mersey Fish Products.  It has been frozen ever since they were here early in July, but tonight we thawed and served the smoked salmon along with  capers, onions and whipped cream cheese.

The purpose for the gathering of our friends was to greet Tim and Kate, who live in New York city.   This little part of the world is very different from New York and the smoked salmon is different too.   We sat on the deck enjoying the evening and each other along with the wine and smoked salmon.  It was a pleasant, easy event.   After everyone left for home, Ken and I ate more smoked salmon for dinner.  It was a real treat, thanks to Dave and Irene's generosity and the Nova Scotia smoked salmon.
