Smoked fish is a popular food item that has been enjoyed for centuries in many parts of the world. Fish is typically smoked by exposing it to smoke from burning wood chips or sawdust, which imparts a distinctive flavor to the fish and also helps to preserve it by inhibiting bacterial growth.

The types of fish that are commonly smoked vary depending on the region, but some popular choices include salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and eel. Smoked fish can be enjoyed on its own as a snack or appetizer, or used as an ingredient in a variety of dishes, such as chowders, salads, and Sierra Leone Smoked Fish Stew.
