Wild Salmon available at Wal-Mart – too good to be true??

[Guest guest]

The last few times I've been in Wal-Mart, they have had a freezer bin

with fish labeled " Wild Salmon " . The package indicates that they are

wild salmon caught in the pacific ocean. They are whole filets with

the scales left on, but no head or guts. The packages says

something, I can't remember the exact wording, like packaged in China

or something. Whatever it said, it left me thinking that it was cut

up and packaged somewhere in Asia. I didn't see anything that

indicated that it was farm-raised. The price is $6-7 for one filet

which is a really, really good price for a wild salmon. I've passed

up this deal because my gut instincts told me that there was some

catch that I wasn't seeing. After all, wal-mart is just in it to

make money and they are really sneaky so it's probably not really

wild. Maybe it's from a farm called Wild farm? Does anyone know

what to make of this – " Wild " Salmon at wal-mart at a really good

price?

Don't know about wall mart, but I get wild salmon at Trader Joe's

for about that price.

My stepmother bought some " wild " salmon while I was visiting them at

this place called price chopper. The fish guy said the steaks were

wild, not the filets, so she bought the steaks. I had the reaction I

only get to farmed fish though, migraine and face rash(looks like

heat rash). I'm really suspicious of " wild " supermarket fish now .
