The price of most seafood seems to have dropped greatly. If one wants to know why, simply look across the Pacific.

My cousin was harbormaster in Dillingham for years. He moved to Montana to avoid the cold.

Maybe now's the time to head out to the sushi bar.

Time to stock up. Nothing as delicious as Alaskan salmon. Waters are clean there too, so you don’t have to worry about what it’s invected with.

Friend of mine owned a commercial fishing bnoat in the Atlantic and said fish were sickly. Not sure what from, some kind of parasite apparently.

Wouldn’t mind seeing cold smoked salmon drop to 50¢/lb.

Guess I should stock up on Salmon.

It hasn’t dropped in the retail stores... Even canned Salmon is absolutely outrageous.

Price gouging cannot be denied.

I’ve been getting full sockeye salmon filets at Sams Club lately and thought they were a good deal. I cut them up into portion sizes, put them in vacumn seal bags and freeze them. Good eating. Didn’t know there was a glut.

A perfect opportunity for BC, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California to put a 4 year moratorium on salmon fishing to help rebuild the stocks.

I think I was paying around $13 a lb. For sockeye filets at the height of covid craziness.

I looked for fresh salmon yesterday at a supermarket. It was $16.99 a pound!

You can have my portion, blech! I’m more of a breaded Icelandic cod kind of guy. With chips and a cold stein of ale.

Costco in Grand Rapids Michigan this past Saturday had the wild caught for 7.99 a pound. One big fillet cut into portions and vacuum sealed will last 6 months in the freezer easy.

Gets harder to find wild-caught salmon as opposed to farm-raised.

It’s laughable. Not cheap to buy for salmon eaters, just cheap to sell for salmon catchers!

I do the same thing! My husband isn’t a fan of fish so it lasts me a whole.
