I think the clue is that they say  Norwegian salmon,  but I may be wrong

Forewarned is forearmed. Be careful what you buy.

“If people knew this they wouldn’t eat salmon,” he said, describing the farmed fish as “the most toxic food in the world.”

Farmed salmon is an abomination. 

 

Once you ate wild alaska salmon fresh out of the river no salmon will ever please you again.  There isnt any here though so I gets its just suffer with giant prawns.

[ukrules]

Why does farmed salmon get so much hate ? It tastes pretty good to me and I eat a big chunk of it a couple of times every week.

I actually doubt you would choose wild salmon in a blind taste test.

 

farmed salmon tastes better

When was the last time you had a Kenai Red caught 15 minutes before? Or a King, same? I can assure you I have forgotten more about Salmon than you will ever know even if you hit 100.

 

If you think some frozen factory farm salmon, replete with chemicals, is better, have at it. Im not going to rescue your palate.

 

Perhaps you are talking about the Pink Salmon so ubiquitously canned. We call that Dog Salmon, cuz you feed it to the dogs.

 

 

Take 2 nice filets of red or king. Layer some SEA salt and dill on the bottom of pan. Put a filet skin side down on the salt/dill. Sprinkle good vodka on it, cover with salt and dill, lay the other fillet meat donw on that, add more salt and dill, put plastic wrap over it and then put on bricks or stones to press it down. Refridge for three days, scrape off the salt and enjoy

Be realistic: you can't get salmon caught 15 min. before in Thailand.

 

From there, think about what products are available - no, I don't mean the hand picked and air-transported salmon for 10.000 baht/Kg.

 

You have a choice between standard wild salmon from "Alaska" and standard salmon from god knows where. The second will likely be better.

 

That being said - I don't know about all the yank stuff you listed, but the best fresh salmon I ever ate was in Scotland. Excellent fresh salmon steak. It was wild or so they said, can never be sure.

 

I am no Alaska salmon specialist, but everytime I have bought salmon labeled "wild Alaska salmon" either in France, Germany, Switzerland or Thailand it was horrible every time, especially the smoked salmon. So I won't buy "wild Alaska salmon" anymore.

 

Compared to Salmon from Norway or Scotland, the Alaska salmon was very red.

Thats why the call it.....

 

Red.

 

I cant comment on the rest of your post as I wont eat salmon unless it is real Alaskan. Except Lox or Smoked. That means if you want a decent hunk:

 

You get it in Alaska or

You pay via the bunghole in a hoity toity US restaurant..

 

Or you know somebody.

 

And it may cost you 10K a kilo. Go see what they charge in Tokyo. When the season opens, the Japanese buyers flood the docks. Whats $25 a kilo in Alaska is $200 in Tokyo

Did you know that sometimes the salmon are so big and the water so fast that you have to shoot them to get them out of the water?

 

What really sucks is when you work to catch your limit and a bear takes them.....

As a Norwegian I can confirm that most of the salmon is farmed , but they have very strict controls, and the quality is good.  

However the prices vary a lot here in Thailand , so not easy to understand why the kilo price can be anything from 400 baht per kilo up to 3000 baht .  

 

I have tried the Makro salmon and it was okay but when the fish has been frozen  it will never be the same as a fresh one.  

If we knew the Norwegian source who delivered to Passion delivery , it would be easier to compare.  850 baht for a kilo is still expensive , but if the quality is up there as the best you can buy in Thailand it's still a nice deal compared to the other supermarkets.

Wow, a paying advertiser's thread gets hi-jacked by Field & Stream.

 

Can you imagine the memory lane segway had Passion been advertising crabs? 

 

"Them thar little things?  Them ain't crabs!  By Golly, we got the biggest, bestest crabs up yonder.  Matterafact, I was in a bar one time in Anchorage and this old broad with a mustache gave me the worst case of the biggest crabs you ever dun seen in your whole life.  Them Alaskan hooker crabs are so big and move so fast, you gotta shootem' with a .45 just to slow 'em down first!"  Pew Pew!

Fishing for salmon West coast salmon, the cost will balloon from $59 to $73 - and in 2020, that tag will cost $90.

It's not cheap to catch a wild salmon.

[unblocktheplanet]

Sure glad you folks love that plastic salmon--more of the real deal for the rest of us!

 

Nothing wrong with canned pinks, either. Great salmon salad, burgers, loaf.

 

Incidentally, the name dog salmon has nothing to do with feeding them to Alaskan sled dogs! They're so name because, unlike other salmon, they have pronounced canine teeth.

 

Frozen Costco salmon burgers are made from dog salmon renamed keta salmon to make it more appetising!

Maybe the should add some fresh COD fillets with the Salmon

they fly in, I think they would sell well too.

it is full of unhealthy medicine

 

(similar to veggies and pesticides)

 

[melvinmelvin]

re salmon - digression 1:

 

in the old days, when flying from Europe to the far east using the northern route and flying westwards,

I think almost all planes stopped in Anchorage for some hours, refuel etc etc and change of crew.

I was often visiting Japan Korea and HKG at the time and spent a lot of time in Anchorage

 

I found that they had stopover offers, like 2-3  days in a log cottage, flown to and from by chopper,

you were free to do nothing but dry martinis or go fishing for salmon or hunting with rifles or whatever,

all gear provided - this was actually not expensive at all

anything you caught would be well taken care of, properly slaughtered and frozen , and put in the cargo hold on your return flight

from the far east

good stuff

 

did this a few times, man - fresh wild salmon every day - good? YES YES

 

 

[melvinmelvin]

re salmon, digression 2:

 

some time in the mid 1800s, towards the end of the feudal era in Norway

there was a kinda violent uprising among the feudal people in western Norway

 

they wanted this and that, and one of the more important elements was less salmon,

at the end it was agreed that that the plebs should not be fed salmon more than 5 times a week.

 

thos was regarded as a very successful uprising, getting the salmon feeding reduced.
