In my opinion, farmed salmon have all of the taste of the wrapper they come in!

Farmed Salmon

Where I live [back home when I return] we do get farm raised atlantic and coho.

Fortunately, the store also brings in fresh Copper River Sockeye, Yukon Chinook, etc [in season]. The difference is really great. Funny thing is that, last year, wild Sockeye were half the price of farm raised Coho. Go Figure.

I encourage the store to keep it up.

We celebrate Copper River season here, but I bet you know that. It is such a pleasure to the tastebuds.

I love silver coho salman! Tasteless you say? I hadn't noticed. I don't think I've ever tried the sockeye, though, I prefer a less fishy taste.

If I eat something that was fed soya meal, I want it to be something that, at one time, went moo, oink or gobble. :)

With salmon, I remember they were experimenting on ways to make the meat brighter red in farmed salmon. They cloned the genes from a shrimp for producing the red pigment , expressed them in yeast and fed the dried yeast to the fish. Don't know if they are doing this on a commericial scale.

I see that it is a slow day for you. :)

Not so for me. I got home this morning, mowed 5 a, went into town and bought food for the next trip [never eat airline food if there is a choice; particularly on a 4 hr flight]. Laundry is done and drying. I will start packing again in 1/2 hr. I have to do it in secret, so as to not upset the cats.

I am taking a break and talking to you. Then back to work.

Best Wishes,,,,,

Yes, the weather is beautiful but it is a slow day in Naptown for me.

-- Lars (lars@indy.net), September 03, 2001.

I think you just put the Wassabe? or home-made ketchup on the wrapper and you won't notice.

I don't know WHAT kind of salmon I buy here. I know it's not the same thing that I ate in Bergen, but WHAT IS? I once didn't eat catfish because they were considered scavengers and had a greasy attribute. The corn-fed, farm-raised stuff is DELICIOUS to me.

Speaking of fish, has anyone else noticed that Norwegian sardines are beginning to resemble the Portugal sardines?

That's sweet that you don't wish to upset your cats. But what about your wife?

-- (Catherine__Linton@hotmail.com), September 03, 2001.


Caterine:

I don't want to draw any conclusions about your spouse. My wife is going with me. I entertained the cats and dogs while she packed. They do know what is going on. They have been through it before.

Yup, give me that good ol' Columbia River salmon, taken downstream of the Hanford nuclear site. Mmmmm, cesium-137 @ 200ppm with a little butter... that's gooooood eatin'.
