Subject: 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 " .

I bought some, and it was really, really good :-)

No doubt someone will say it's not the real thing :-( Just in case, I guess

I'd better get some more and enjoy eating it before I read any more on this

list.......... {LOL}

and the K9's

Isn't it pretty obvious by visual inspection whether or not the salmon is

wild (taste being important too, of course). I buy mine from a natural food

store fish market. The " Atlantic " and other varieties of salmon are often

farm raised. These salmon have a coral-colored hue and are a much lighter

shade than the reddish wild Pacific varieties like Coho, Chum, Sockeye, and

other varieties. Also, I think the farmed fish look much more fatty than

the wild ones. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about ???

ALL atlantic salmon are farm-raised. they're on the endangered species list

and it's illegal to fish them in the wild.

except *king* salmon which looks awfully similar to atlantic and is fatty.

at least the king in my local fish store fits that description and it's wild

pacific caught.
