Copper River Salmon at Kroger for $24.99/lb

[papapepper]

Fuck that nonsense... I paid $13 for a pound at Tom Thumb.

[scootro]

how come fish farms can't design a special tank to breed salmon?

[billybob81]

Just a heads up for you other CR people. I picked up 10 lbs of CR salmon from Costco in Ft. Worth today for $8.99/lb. Not sure if they have any left, but for that price it's worth giving them a call.

Gonna start looking tomorrow. Hope I can find some good deals. Fuck paying $25 a pound. I think I payed like $14 or so last year.

You ever had it? There is no substitute. No way no how, anyone who has ever had the real thing would not notice the difference. It's a completely different fish. What you are implying just isn't possible with CR salmon, you know the season only lasts some shit like 3 weeks, so it's only available those 3 weeks out of the year, right? You can't reproduce that fish farm raised. Impossible.

Right on. Yeah, I've had it. The FDA is starting to crack down on substitute fish in the market, and I'm kind of pessimistic about high end seafood. I do wish a friend of mine was still guiding in Alaska. One year he gave me 200lbs. of frozen salmon that was caught by his clients that just wanted their pictures taken with big fish. He even guided David Petzel from Field & Stream, and that dude wouldn't even touch the fish he caught. Apparently he said, "I don't clean anything I catch or kill. That's a disgusting chore, and that's why I pay you. Fish are disgusting." Lolz.

Watch it get overfished, and they'll substitute farm raised as Copper River. Hell, I'll bet half of what's being sold as Copper River now is a substitute salmon.

Jesus fuck that's outrageous. Do they think they are Central Market or something? Or has the "fad" grown so much that all the cool kids are doing it now?
