I don't think there's a worse thing to be inherited from the cultural hellspawn that were the north american 1950s

Outside of the PNW it seems to be called "candied salmon" and it's harder to find in stores.

Now that I've heard of. Is the kind in the PNW always "candied"? The style of cutting and smoking sounds interesting, even though I'm not a fan of sweetened meat.

I'd imagine you could find Atlantic-style smoked salmon in specialty stores, probably if you looked instead for lox - I remember being surprised and dismayed on moving East that not all smoked salmon is like the stuff I grew up with, so it's pretty universal in the PNW. I don't remember the flavours, but the supermarket stuff is varied, usually maple-glazed or "spicy" and stuff, but in a seafood store or a fish market you could probably find indigenous-sourced smoked salmon that's less sweet and a lot more like jerky. As far as I recall it wasn't ever called "candied" salmon back home, which makes sense: the stuff you get out East just has a maple/honey glaze, while in the PNW you'll usually find it covered in all sorts of seasonings, giving it a unique texture.
