| I usually buy mine at WF, but I'm looking to branch out. If you're a regular salmon eater, where are you getting yours? |

| You do realize that no salmon around here is really "fresh." It's all thawed and previously frozen, which is totally fine. |

| In my opinion, Harris Teeter has the best salmon. I've never once found a bone in it. |

| I get ours frozen (wild Alaskan Sockeye) from Costco. As PP mentioned, nothing in this area is truly "fresh" and I generally find the frozen to be better quality. And Costco has the best of any I've tried. |

| It's farmed, but Trader Joe's' "fresh" Atlantic salmon (in the refrigerator case with the fresh meat) tastes amazing. From purely a taste perspective, I don't think I've found better at any of the other grocery stores around here (Costco, WF, etc.) - it is so buttery and delicious. It comes as either a large fillet or precut into three pieces. It's my favorite. |

I would rethink that if I were you. TJs also has wild salmon. https://health.clevelandclinic.org/fish-faceoff-wild-salmon-vs-farmed-salmon/ |

In MoCo? You can't. Everything is previously frozen, and usually originates from the same few distributors so it doesn't actually matter. The "fresh" is just thawed. Wait for a sale at (anywhere, pick a location) and buy a ton frozen, still in the original vacuum packaging. Then unwrap and defrost as needed. |

I have had luck buying fish at Profish.com
I pick up the fish from Rodman’s on Saturdays. They have many pick up locations. |

They are at the Bethesda farmers market (along with another fishmonger) on Sundays |

| There is a new wholesale market in Kensington that sells fish and meats. Everything I’ve purchased has been fantastic. Kensingtonmdmarket.com |

For this reason I buy mine from Crowd Cow or Fulton Fish Market. |
