I'm kinda picky about my salmon. I generally don't like Atlantic salmon. I can eat it, but it just isn't as vibrant. Wild-caught Pacific salmon (like Coho, Sockeye, or one that I have only seen in Alaska...something like "steelhead"??) is much better. I think a lot of that is that Atlantic salmon usually is farmed, which affects the quality.
Yep. Fish does not ship well and it does not store well. Farmed is definitely not as good wild caught. I'm with you, if fish isn't good quality, I'll just pass.
Steelhead is an ocean going Rainbow Trout(and member of the salmon family). It is very tasty, but it is very difficult to find wild caught. Costco has farmed steelhead occasionally. Its pretty good and a good discount over salmon. More of a weeknight thing than a special occasion.
