Smoked Seafood

No tartar sauce need apply

Ducktrap River Fish Farm began as a trout farm in 1978 and has grown into a smoked-fish emporium. The Belfast, Maine company smokes a variety of fish, including trout, mackerel, and bluefish, using a combination of woods -- maple, cherry, apple, and oak. The fish develop an exquisite smoky flavor, and are perfect for hors d'oeuvres. Reel them in at Barsamian's (1030 Mass Ave, in Cambridge) and Bread & Circus (locations include 186 Alewife Brook Parkway and 115 Prospect Street, in Central Square; both in Cambridge). A half-pound package ranges from $3 to $5.
