Salmon candy is a Pacific Northwest preparation rooted in Coast Salish cedar-smoked salmon traditions. Modern BC salmon candy combines a brown-sugar-and-maple cure with low-temperature smoking, the sticky-sweet chewy strips a Vancouver souvenir. Granville Island Public Market and Indigenous-owned shops along the coast remain the reference vendors; Salt Spring Coffee and the Boucherie maintain a year-round supply.
