So maybe there's an opportunity for a local entrepreneur to start doing some fish smoking!

I'm not a lover of smoked salmon, but I understand that the standard-bearer is J. Willy Krauch & Sons, which almost shut down recently, until the sons picked it back up. Not IN Halifax, but in Saulnierville... they say they sell at Sobeys, so perhaps you just picked the wrong big-box grocer to visit?
Not smoked, but gravlax that I personally think is amazing is the salmon prepared by the chef at Epicurious Morsels, in the Hydrostone, in the north end of the city... made me a salmon lover, and he does it himself. Worth a trip next time you're in town, in my opinion.
