From the US and visiting Lapland currently. We went to the grocery store and I was intending to find ingredients for bagels and lox for breakfast (so cream cheese, bagel, cured/smoked salmon, capers, etc). I picked this up thinking that’s what it was, but the more I look at it the more I am not sure because it is pretty thick rather than the thin/shaved consistency. I’ve tried to scan the package for translation but I cannot definitively figure out if this is raw like it needs cooked or if this is regular cured lox/gravlax. Happy to eat it either way, but obviously want to cook it if it needs to be heated. Thank you for assisting me in avoiding food poisoning!

  2. Yes it is sugar salted salmon, you don’t need to cook it. It should be in thin slices in that package, they’re just stacked

  3. It’s not lox, but gravlax. Same, same, but different. I don’t think you can find actusl lox anywhere in Finland, but gravlax is similar enough and probably even better.

  4. Salt cured rainbow trout. Eat as is. Can spoil if not kept in cold.

  5. It’s gravlax as others say, not made from salmon but rainbow trout. Tasty anyway.

  8. Did you find bagels somewhere? Because they’re not really a thing here. Or at least not that I know of. You know what could work? Use a rye bread instead. I know I wouldn’t turn down a Vaasan ruispalat ohut herkku with lox, cream cheese, pickled red onions and fresh dill

    Just a warning, it’s really hard and chewy but IMO the best sliced rye.
