You’re delighted if it’s in your sushi roll, and it’s always top of the menu at your local bagel spot, but is salmon good for you? Short answer: Yes. According to Alyssa Pike, R.D., manager, nutrition communications, International Food Information Council, salmon is “packed” with nutrients.
“Salmon is a heart-healthy fish and a source of many nutrients, most notably the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), vitamin B12, and selenium,” says Pike.

Yes I do. And I I live on my boat, surrounded by commercial fishermen, which is sometimes exciting but I never have to buy fish.
Yes raw salmon and tuna are easy to eat....for me
I like most sushi and sashimi
salmon (and other farmed fish) fed on corn meal and such have zero EPA/DHA and zero special nutritional benefit ... EPA/DHA originate in aquatic plankton, algae and similar organims and work their way up the food chain ...
“We quit eating farm raised pretty much anything except farmed clams and mussels.”
ourselves and friends kept getting sick after eating farmed salmon and farmed shrimp, so lesson learned ... pretty much only wild-caught anything from the waters except farmed oysters, which are farmed IN the ocean anyway ..

Great video, is that you in the beginning?
Don’t care. Tastes good. Makes me happy. All other opinions belong in the trash.
I’ve seen some companies online that ship wild salmon from Alaska in dry ice. If anyone has tried this, can you let me know what companies you used? Or maybe some that weren’t so great?
I live in GA so the salmon options here are not the best. I’ve enjoyed the crappie my husband catches from our local lake, though, lol
Yes. That's me making an excuse for not producing a real video or live stream last week. Two minute channel trailer
Yes. It’s like $26 a package now but worth every penny IMO.
