Famous British Columbia Salmon Marinade and BBQ Sauce
March 10, 2010
Third is the Famous BC Salmon sauce. I actually tried this one before the Jim Beam one, but I decided to give it another shot. Obviously it was put on a fillet of prev frozen Wild Sockeye Salmon, baked for 20 minutes. When some fresh stuff comes in, I'll try it again.
Information: This sauce is actually extremely hard to find outside of British Columbia, as it's made by the locals for the locals.
I've always been interested in how this tastes, ever since I started working at Urban Fare. Since the biggest word on the label is "Famous," I figured it should be pretty damn good.
| Price: 8/10 | $5.89 for a 350mL bottle is a nice price for something that's locally made. |
| Presentation: 7/10 | A bold Salmon colored label with black lettering really sticks out on the shelf, especially with the native art surrounding the boarders. |
| Smell: 4/10 | Definitely wasn't something I was expecting to smell. Like some kind of syrupy-caramel. |
| Color: 6/10 | It almost looks like runny caramel, or some kind of cloudy maple syrup. |
| Consistency before cooked: 4/10 | Just a little too watery for me. However, it's also a marinade, so it would work perfect for that use, as opposed to just a BBQ sauce. |
| Consistency after cooked: 8/10 | Very nice. It stuck right to the fish and barely "melted" off. I''m very pleased with that. |
| Flavor: 5/10 | There's just something about it that I didn't much care for. Maybe it was all the corn syrup they put in it. I'm sure if they would have used Maple instead, it would have turned out better. |
| Total: 42/70 | Not bad. I want to try marinating the salmon in it for a bit, just to see how that would turn out, even though I'm not too keen on the flavor. |
