The price of most seafood seems to have dropped greatly. If one wants to know why, simply look across the Pacific.
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.
I think I was paying around $13 a lb. For sockeye filets at the height of covid craziness.
No way I am buying farmed fish.
where do I find these great salmon prices?...the seem pretty steady and high to me...
“Towards the end of the season, processors announced a base price of just 50 cents per pound”
Yet it is $9.00 lb in the grocery store and more at the local fish markets. Just another way to screw the fisherman. The processors strip the roe and sell it to Japan et al a huge amount compared to the price they give the fisherman.
The farm raised salmon seems to have dropped but I won't eat it farmed.
It seems the supermarket retailers are keeping wild caught high because they know that people who prefer wild caught tend to be affluent and can thus afford the higher prices.
