    I think I'd be safe in saying that anything that comes in brine/sauce or oil is cooked and ready to eat, all smoked salmon from a supermarket is cooked. Generally most will be eaten cold with a salad/ sandwich but you can add to pasta receipes etc. where they will be heated up again.

    Tinned fish is cooked, in general. Smoked salmon (the type that most commonly comes in plastic packaging) is not and is eaten raw.

    Pretty much all tinned food would be cooked. After it is tinned it undergoes heat treatment to sterilize it, they load them into giant pressure cookers and heat them up so internally the food must reach 121C for a set period of time to kill all contaminants, including heat resistant endospores. This is why tinned food lasts pretty much indefinitely, in the 80's I never once saw a BB date on a tin, nowadays I think it is just marketing -they do not want retailers stocking up on offers and having tatty faded tins on shelves for years.
