Smoked fish is cooked. It is not raw. I have not bought vacuum sealed smoked fish, just some locally smoked one from service desk at Citymarket/Prisma. Price is of course completely different. At least those sold at service desk are without guts.

Ready to eat! As some have said, it’s often eaten cold, but since you don’t like cold fish, you might want to cut portions of it and warm them up in a microwave oven. Warming an entire smoked whitefish in the oven is possible, too, but I haven’t tried it myself so can’t offer tips. I wonder if that risks drying the fish too much?

I use this exact fish semi-regularly. It is ready to eat and delicious. Personally I warm it up in the oven by wrapping the unpacked fish in foil and placing it onto an oven sheet or in a steel tray. 150-175° for 30 mins. The insides are clean but all the bones are attached. They’ll come off very easily though, or alternatively eat the fall apart meat around them 🙂

What a horrible mess it would be to smoke a fish like this without gutting it. All the tasty fishgut and poo juices cooking inside the fish and giving it the exta tang it needs!
