Aww, horse sh*&! I guess I mean fish sh*&!

Sounds like an efficient plan, though the produce will likely be dearer than the Mexican imports. (Veggies, that is! 😉

Southeast Alaska bumper sticker: “Friends don’t let friends eat farmed fish”

And they mean it. I was recently given 45 lbs of wild Alaska salmon by a local fisherman who had no more room in his freezer. There is just no comparison between farmed and wild salmon.

This is fake news. This is not the first “fake” farmed Salmon in the US. My High School had a Chinook Salmon hatchery and the class associated with it was a biology credit called “Aquaculture” back when I was there. Farmed Atlantic “Salmon” is nothing new. I was in Aquaculture back in 1886-1987.

If you live on the West Coast and know anything about fish....these are at best farmed steelhead.

Where I grew up the term “Farmed Fish” was another way of saying “chum”.

Real fish don’t eat pellets.

It’s wild salmon or no salmon at all.

I hope you got out of the buggy whip business in time and didn't lose your shirt!

I spent 10 days in AK fishing halibut and all manner of salmon. Came home with 250lbs of fillets vacuum packed and flash frozen. Ate on it for a year and now order from a processor a few times a year. Catfish is the only farmed fish I’ve eaten.

I for one, can’t stand Salmon, unless it’s Sushi.

Maybe put sarcastic quotes around “Atlantic” also? It’s the Chinook salmon in the Great Lakes, no?

Would also love more info about your processor, and if they can ship to the Lower 48.

I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing “great lakes salmon” is Sockeye Salmon. Sockeye can grow in restricted waters and breed. They are like Steelhead Trout on steroids. I would rate landlocked Sockeye slightly below wild Coho Salmon on eating quality.
