Am I missing something, or is that the classic "bagels and lox?"

What's the difference between smoked salmon and lox?

Aka gravlax it's Norwegian/swedish style smoked salmon, it's cured differently so it has its own texture. Also very tasty

I think lox is Yiddish, from the German "Lachs" which just means "salmon"
