Quality Control

Springfield Smoked Fish uses only fresh and choice cut raw fish to produce the best possible finished product. Selection is made by skilled personnel taught by years of experience. Below are some examples of the high quality production techniques that most other smoked fish companies do not use:

TRADITIONAL SMALL BLOCK OVENS
We choose not to use huge automatic ovens to preserve the tradition of the quality flavor that comes form viewing the smoking as an art form vs. a science.

SMALL WATCHED BATCHES
Rather than aiming for quick, massive quantities, we find it easier to produce perfect results and maintain product freshness when using smaller batches.

We view the smoking as an art form we find it easier to produce perfect results and maintain product freshness when using smaller batches. Our smoke is produced directly underneath the fish using real wood fires.

REAL WOOD FIRES FOR SMOKING
Liquid smoke can be bitter, piped smoke can loose its flavor due to condensation along the pipes. The only clear choice is our technique, which insures consistent great taste. Our smoke is produced directly underneath the fish using real wood fires.

FRESH INGREDIENTS AND REAL SPICES
While others may use imitation sour cream and liquid or powdered spices, Springfield Smoked Fish uses only fresh onion, sour cream and real spices in all our pickled herring. Again, taste is the difference.

LIMITED USE OF PRESERVATIVES
Smoking fish used to be done as a means of preservation, But that process makes a very dry and salty product. Today, smoking is used more for flavoring, so some preservatives are necessary, but we will not overdo it. Others will date the shelf life of pickled herring for 1 year ours has a 6 month date demonstrating our choice to limit the use of preservatives. Some producers will use pumped in humidity to plump up the fish and add weigh, we will not.

KOSHER
Not all smoked fish is kosher. However, all our products are certified Kosher. A Kosher fish has to have scales and fins. This eliminates shellfish, sharks, eels, etc. In addition a kosher plant has to be inspected for cleanliness, manufacturing practices, and to ensure that the integrity of the Kosher fish is maintained.
