Post #302 - September 8th, 2015, 1:19 pmIt's only in season a short time. Personally, I've really been enjoying the Atlantic Samon at Dirk's. It's farmed, but supposedly is sustainably done. It's tasty, reliable, and short of burning it, hard to screw up.Leek

Post #303 - September 8th, 2015, 5:26 pmAnd the Faroe Island salmon ("wild" farmed from Nova Scotia) at New England Seafood Co., at $13.99/lb is an absolute steal I think--it's super rich so almost impossible to overcook--and almost $10lb cheaper than at The Fish Guy on Elston, where it was also very definitely NOT as fresh."Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad."

Post #304 - September 9th, 2015, 7:28 amAs an update, the 'Copper River' King from Fresh Farms was excellent.
Fresh Farms is my go to fish monger.
I purchase whole fillets and cut and freeze wrap. Tails are used to make Lox or Gravlox.
When specifying wild salmon, it would be helpful to note the species sold, as King, Sockeye, and Coho can all be 'Copper River' salmon. King is much larger than the others, Sockeye is a dense red fleshed salmon. All can be quite good.
It is usally easy to tell previously frozen salmon from 'fresh'.
The flesh has a slumped apperance and duller sheen.
As to 'farmed' versas 'wild', Patagonia has a good take on the matter.

If I can't get 'wild' we still purchase 'farmed' during the winter but less and less as the years go on.
I will pay for sustainability but that is often hard to determine.

Dirk's farmed Atlantic Salmon is outstanding. It's rich and buttery. Perfect for smoking or curing (or eating raw). He also has an excellent farmed New Zealand Ora King Salmon that he accurately describes as Kobe-like. Both are outstanding. Right now he also has wild Columbia River King Salmon and wild Alaskan Chum Salmon.

Post #306 - June 9th, 2016, 12:33 pmThey have started to arrive! I was at the Costco in Niles this morning and they had them for $16.99 per pound, packs going for $50 to $55 each. I think I will wait until the price comes down a bit.

It's a little early in the season for king salmon. Was it frozen?Steve Z.
