Are you trying to tell me they can't put a treadmill in a pond?!

The plane WOULD still take off.

I wonder if they can recreate CR salmon on a farm?

a farm on the copper river?

I was at Costco in Arlington today, and they had some CR Salmon for $8.99/lb again. I bought 10 lbs from ft worth last week and vacuum sealed it.

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.

I don't like to touch fish either, but here's what I'll do for you. When I get settled in the mountains I'll run down to a spot we used to go off of the S. Platte River and I'll catch some Salmon for you. I'll work on smoking them properly so I can ship, or you can come up and roll with me.

What makes the CR salmon so special is the specific river run they have to take. That's why it's so much more lean than the rest of the salmon. You can't recreate that on a farm.

Just picked up 6 1/2lbs from Tom Thumb for $9 a lb. Just ask for a TT card if you don't have one.

I'll hit up my two locals tonight. Haven't seen either one with it yet.

I'll have to check this on my way home from work tomorrow.

Got 3 pounds at Tom Thumb for $8.99/lb. Kroger has it for $12.99/lb and Market Street has it for $13.99/lb. I've got 4 pounds vacuum sealed in the freezer. Love this stuff. Fishing has finished so it will be gone any day now.

If you read the label most salmon have color added. Maybe not CR idk.

I decided to check it out and picked up a filet for $9 a pound last night at Tom Thumb. Never seen such a deep red salmon.

Delicious.

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

They are born in fresh water and live most of their lives in the ocean, it'd have to be a big tank. They are farmed but it's not a matter of raising them in a stock pond.
