Boy, your Copper River Salmon price is out of sight...I have bought Copper River Salmon twice in the last few weeks...both times it was $5.99lb...I bought enough for us to enjoy it fresh, and then bought extra and froze it...it sure is good

But I am glad that you have other salmon at a more reasonable price...my fave is the Copper River, but its a short season for that, and we go back to buying whatever salmon they do have...we just love salmon at our house, and eat it, once sometimes twice a week...

Our head butcher lady said the same thing. She has relatives up in the Seattle area, and they were buying from seafood stores from $5 to $6/pound.

I think what is happened is that last week we had the famous Napa Wine Auction. The super rich elites fly in the week before or stay the week after. The chefs can charge several hundred $'s for each person in private dining. So the demand in this area for the Copper River Salmon for these 3 weeks puts it out of sight for the rest of us.
