Boreal Trade summary
Wolfhead Smokers Ltd. makes smoked Atlantic salmon at L'Etang, New Brunswick. Its products include cold smoked salmon and a hot smoked salmon finished with cracked pepper.
The cold smoked fish follows a Scottish-style method. Fresh fillets are dry salted and cured, then smoked slowly at a low temperature and cured further.
The hot smoked salmon is double smoked. The temperature is raised so the fish cooks as it smokes.
The smokehouse is in the original Jail Island processing plant, on a cove off the Bay of Fundy in southwest New Brunswick.
The business began in 1985, when George and Karen Wolf started smoking salmon from their own farm, Jail Island Salmon. They kept the smoking side as Wolfhead Smokers in 1998.
It is listed in the Seafood from Canada directory for farmed Atlantic salmon. Export markets and volumes are not established.
It suits buyers looking for a long-established, small-batch smoked salmon producer working from a single smokehouse.

Approval means the destination authority has listed the establishment. It does not tell you whether the company is currently shipping.
Canada publishes an approved-establishment list for Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia, and none for Thailand or the Philippines, so those two read "not yet verified" for every company.
Elsewhere it means we have not found the company on that market's list, never that they are unregistered.
