Canned salmon in Bangkok

[AlphaCanadian]

I have only seen canned salmon at Foodland (and only at one location).

At 150 baht a can it is a little pricey.

I can also order canned salmon online from Iherb but it is also pricy.

 

Where can I get canned salmon in Bangkok at a reasonable price?

 

Thanks in advance.

What is reasonable?

What you are seeing is it not a high demand product...

Canned salmon is very hard to get...even ikea doesn't have it...they have smoked and frozen salmon though.

Best is to buy fresh salmon which comes in many different prices and qualities.

 

Sometimes the CP-freshmarkets have promotion on frozen salmon, pay 2 get 3 packs...

I think the Cesar salmon isn't a too bad deal.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are Thai who eat that...they eat every piece of a salmon and also potato...

Canned salmon is rubbish and toxic. Avoid it like the plague. As you should with all 'farmed' salmon. You should only ever eat wild Pacific salmon that isn't contaminated with radionuclides from Fukushima, and that's extremely hard to get and super-expensive. My advice: stick to sardines, they're supercheap and safe.

I'm back in the UK at the moment and just came back from Tesco having bought 8 frozen Alaskan wild salmon fillets (660 grams in total) for £6. In Bangkok I pay over double that for Makro's frozen farmed salmon.

 

How much is the IKEA frozen salmon in Thailand?

 

The 'fresh' salmon is not really fresh, just defrosted, cut up and left to go slowly rotten in store.

They sell 'Norwegian salmon' in Gourmet Market for about 1500/KG.

 

There's a couple of others which go up in price to about 2500/KG. They're slightly different in colour but taste about the same to me.

Well at IKEA thailand everything costs about double compared to europe, but your steaks are very small with 80 grams...i thought i had seen 4 frozen ikea salmonsteaks for 600 baht....but they are larger i guess.

 

Salmon costs much more this year, about 30% more than last year.

An 80 gram fish steak sounds more like 'fish fingers' to me.

In the CP shops they also sell frozen salmonsteaks of 80 grams, sometimes they are buy 2 get 3....those are nice but too small for me. I need 2 of them.

Canned salmon fresh? Not even when it goes into the can, let alone when you eat it months later.
