Smoked salmon candy is Alaska's gift-shop and bar-snack staple: salmon cured with brown sugar, soy and salt, then slow-smoked to a sweet-savoury jerky that holds for weeks.
Salmon candy traces its roots to Indigenous Alaska preservation methods, scaled up commercially after statehood. Alaska Sausage and Seafood Co supplies most of the city's bars and gift shops, and 49th State Brewing carries it as an Alaska bar bite. The Tlingit and Haida peoples of Southeast Alaska have smoked sweet-salt salmon for centuries, the modern brown-sugar-and-maple glaze a 20th-century commercial adaptation.
