I got some spectacular smoked Irish salmon when I was there a couple
of months ago.

I grew up with all sorts of lox, of course, but as an adult, began to
discover and appreciate all sorts of wonderful cured and smoked
salmons.

I make my own gravlax this time of year and am quite proud of it, but
there is something about a first rate smoked Irish salmon (I have had
it there and over here in various places) that practically makes me
weak in the knees.
