| | I had to cut them into steaks and remove the fins (it was already scaled and gutted) - my mom told me it was $20/lb in Seattle (same price for King or Sockeye). | | | |

| Fabulous sushi last night:
ono, hamachi, smoked scallop - but the best was the salmon. Beautiful with ponzu, a bit of ginger and sriracha. I'm going to have to try this at fish camp.

| OK, so who eats the $35.99 per lb Salmon when it doesn't sell? Can't someone say...hey...we can't support these prices and let's just eat something else? I keep getting these visions of grocery store clerks eating 5 day old salmon....
By the way, how long is salmon "fresh"? | | | |

| | You have to wonder. I noticed some pretty mangy looking "fresh" salmon at Whole Foods during my last trip. Do they put it in the sushi????? | | | |

| | i grilled some sockeye that was a "product of canada, processed in usa" that i picked up fresh from costco yesterday evening. there was no indication of it ever having been flash frozen on the label & it was delicious. at $13.99 a pound i was pretty happy with it. i paired it with the 2006 bressler pinot & it was delicious as well. | | | |

Agree 1000% on the Bressler PN and salmon pairing. Pics of the two together on the "14 Days as a Bachelor" thread :-D

Wow. I'm really jealous. I just had a mediocre lentil soup with some 2 day old bread and my saliva glands started going when I read your post!

| | FYI, Costco has domestic wild sockeye salmon for $7.99/lb. Wonder where it is coming from? | | | |
