The Story Behind Smoked Fish Solomon

Smoking is the most important traditional food preservation method in the Solomon Islands. Before refrigeration, smoking extended the shelf life of surplus fish catches.

The slow smoking over green wood creates deep, complex flavors prized in their own right.

Smoked fish remains vital for food security on remote outer islands.
