What it is
Omul is a prized salmonid fish, a delicacy primarily from Lake Baikal. Hot-smoked omul is prepared by slow-smoking the fish over aromatic wood, resulting in a tender, flaky texture and intensely rich, savory flavor. It's naturally keto-friendly and typically served simply with a lemon wedge.
Key ingredients
Whole Omul fish, coarse salt, black pepper, natural wood chips (e.g., alder) for smoking.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no sugary brines or glazes are used during the smoking process. This is typically a very clean preparation.
