salt fish

Packaged salt-preserved fish typically comes as whole fish, chunks, fillets, slabs, or sliced pieces.

For smoked fillets: refrigerate at or below 38°F, use within five days after opening, and the product may be frozen for up to 12 months.

Salted or smoked fish can be used on sandwiches or bagels with cream cheese, added to salads or pasta, served on toast or crackers, included in rice bowls, or served alongside vegetables—works well in both cold and hot dishes.

"Ready to eat" indicates the product is fully cooked or pre-smoked and intended to be eaten straight from the package without further cooking.
