[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really prefer the taste of farmed fish unfortunately [/quote]

Me to. I find the wuld salmon disgusting.  It's dry and tastes like cardboard. [/quote]

This perplexes me.  I grew up in Alaska and did -- and still do -- eat a lot of wild salmon. The farmed stuff can't hold a penny to wild Alaska salmon texture wise (farmed = mushy), color wise (farmed = pale pink) or taste wise (farmed = fishy). I mean, to each their own, but it still baffles me. [/quote]

DP: I love wild smoked salmon. When I buy uncooked salmon, I tend to prefer farmed because it’s fattier, and, therefore, much easier to cook than wild salmon. I’ve had wonderful wild-caught salmon in the Seattle area, though, so perhaps there are other variables in the mix? [/quote]

Wild King and Wild Coho are both very fatty. Sockeye is leaner. So, I think it depends on the fish.

Plus, I don't like the wild salmon you buy from fish counters (it's usually thawed). I much to buy flash frozen fish, which keeps its texture better. [/quote]
