I am not sure anymore what is sold as salmon is salmon.
I can’t remember the last time I had Salmon.
When I was a kid, we had mullet maybe once or twice a month.
Haven’t had salmon since the wife split.
Four or five years ago, I suddenly got sick on salmon and now I won’t touch it.
Oh that’s a classic!!
I am so stealing that!!!
Farmed salmon from Chile is great. Norwegian is fantastic. An interesting factoid. Farms in Chilean fijords produce more salmon than all the wild runs on earth.
You might have had some fish that had gone bad. I rarely buy fish at regular supermarkets because I don't trust it. If I can't catch it myself, I usually go to Trader Joe's, Sprouts, or to a local Korean market.
Mother taught me how to tell if mullet was fresh by looking at the eye.
I think if you could see red, then it was not fresh. It has been a long time tho. I do recall that we could almost always get it for 9 cents a pound. That was cheap even back then.
I had salmon for dinner tonight....small world.
It was wild caught Alaska salmon, purchased from Sam’s Club.
It was good, too.
And no Chile does not produce more than "all the wild runs on earth." They barely come close to the annual tonnage of sockeye salmon landed in Bristol Bay, Alaska - not to mention all the other runs in the Bay, nor the rest of AK, nor in the Pac NW, nor Russian production.
Addicted to antibiotics, Chile's salmon flops at Costco, grocers ...
Jul 23, 2015 ... Chile's salmon farmers are using record levels of antibiotics to treat a virulent ... out Chilean farm salmon in favor of antibiotic-free fish caught in the wild. ... of Blumar, which exports a tenth of its salmon production to Costco.
And all of this wondrous fish has been brought to you by the the anti-commercial fishing interests in the Pac NW who sold the fertilized salmon eggs at a profit direct from the hatcheries (despite state laws forbidding the practice) and then blamed the short falls on commercial fishermen for "over-harvesting" the drastically impacted runs while at the same time drastically negatively impacting the lives and livelihoods of those same "evil child molesting" commercial salmon fishermen.
Buying farmed salmon from Chili is literally stealing from hard working Americans. Worse, farmed salmon frequently escape and bred with wild salmon thus destroying the gene pool of that run making them less hardy more disease prone.
PS: Underneath each pen, piles of waste accumulate and the pens need to be constantly moved or securely anchored in fast moving currents else the area becomes a white pile of lifeless goo from the fish feces and the 'food' the fish are fed (it falls through the bottom mesh). Bon Appétit
