FINN'S Smoked Fish Dips
FINN'S Smoked Fish Dips are smooth and creamy with the right combination of smokiness. We make it from the freshest, wild-caught fish possible and hot smoke it over natural wood embers. Our original or classic dip uses Mahi-Mahi (pronounced MAH-hee MAH-hee), the Hawaiian name for Dolphinfish. This mild variety tames the “fishy” taste of many other smoked fish dips and spreads made from fish containing more oil. For those looking for more aggressive flavors we offer blends that include bluefish, kingfish, wahoo and occasionally mullet. All of our fresh cut fillets go straight into the smokehouse. Finally, the smoked fillets are combined with a balanced recipe of ingredients to wake up the natural flavors. The original Mahi-Mahi is far and away our number one product providing and aromatic first impression and a pronounced smoke flavor with subtle notes of citrus and pepper. The Cajun version uses a traditional blackened blend of three peppers, including cayenne, to create more bite. This the one for fans that like a little heat.
Respecting the Ocean
Mahi-Mahi, and other varieties we use are fast-growing fish and are among the most sustainable species available. Mahi-Mahi can be found up and down the east coast from Montauk to Key West depending on the season. It is most plentiful in southern waters. Most of our fish comes from 100 miles or more offshore. When our catch arrives, the fish is smoked right in a dockside smokehouse. It is hot smoked for many hours primarily over traditional live Oak, but we do occasionally mix things up a bit
Safety first
Toxins are naturally present in raw fish. We eliminate the toxins by hot smoking and thereby cooking the fish to a safe temperature. We take an extra step to flash freeze the fish. Once blended, continuous refrigeration ensures the ready-to-eat dip is completely safe when you purchase it. We take great care to ensure freshness using some food "science" combining ingredients that are natural preservatives with the smoke process. Nothing artificial is needed and so no additional preservatives are used in smoking, blending, and packaging. Our shelf life is sensible. Fish dip was not meant to sit on a grocery store shelf for weeks or even months!
