“Salmon for me. Alaskan salmon. From Alaska. I bought some at the market in nice little serving-sized frozen packages. Upon closer inspection at home, small print revealed “Product of China.””
It still could be Alaska salmon that was filleted, cut, cleaned and packaged in China.
However, fish from the south china sea might be less radioactive than alaska salmon.
This is because the pacific current is similar to the US east coast gulf stream. The pacific current starts in japan, goes up to alaska and down to California. It is why all the tsunami junk like floating docks, cars and ships is ending up in Washington state. It is also why California is cool in summer, unlike the east coast of the USA where the gulf stream starts in the carribean, goes up the east coast and over to Britain.
Agree about the radioactive waters splashing on our shores. What a disgrace. I’m in the PNW. Someone here at FR sent me a link to site that measures radioactivity in the US. We were getting blasted after Fukushima, hundreds of times more than usual. Maybe now too.
I don’t want to know because I cannot do anything about it. Few things seem overwhelming to me, but this issue does. Big sigh.
I love the West Coast, have chosen to spend most of my adult here.
