Right...in my book, lox (or, more correctly, belly lox, sometimes called salty lox) is cured and not smoked. Like gravalax. Smoked salmon (nova for those who know it by this term) is cold smoked. And kippered salmon is hot smoked.
Too pedantic for eG? NEVER!
At Russ, if you ask for "lox," they may even ask you if you know what it is.
