Looking for candied salmon near Vancouver, Washington or Portland, Oregon? The Pacific Northwest has a long smoked salmon tradition, but the specific cold smoked candied salmon seen across TikTok can be surprisingly difficult to find locally.

Many seafood markets carry hot smoked salmon, lox, or traditional smoked fillets. The viral yukola style is different, with a firmer exterior, dense texture, and soft buttery middle.
