So far, Squeaky Bean and ASDA have no salmon slices and Aldi are now in the game for Veganuary.
It is actually good that you can buy them as slices rather than in sandwiches because you get to appreciate the taste more and you can eat it however you want.
I felt that it is just as pricy as salmon so I am not sure if this is to level up with salmon or the costs to make this product just like lab diamonds and real diamonds.
At first, I thought this salmon alternative was going to be the same as the vegan konjac salmon sashimi but it was a million times better.
It was so good that I hope it will be available all year round and not just veganuary.
As soon as I opened the pack, the smell was promising as you get that smoked salmon smell.
Touching it with my fingers, it was impressive as it truly felt like salmon your fingers will get slightly greasy just like touching salmon without any fishiness.
Trying it on its own, the taste was bang on and it didn't really need any other seasonings or flavours.
If you add dill and lemon juice, it is just like having the cured salmon at IKEA.
It was just as delicious on baguette so if I closed my eyes I would have thought it was salmon although there is a slight aftertaste if you eat too much.
The texture is just like salmon which melts in your mouth and a slight resistance like jelly.
Visually the only giveaway is the uniformity and the square slice because you can't get salmon like that.
Comparing the ingredients of this to ASDA and Squeaky Bean, I found them very similar so it could be then same supplier which is often the case especially when one or more supermarkets offer it.
