I used to believe salmon was mediocre until I made a point
of seeking out utterly fresh, west coast salmon. The stuff
simply does not survive being frozen in any sort of reasonable
condition, nor is it nearly as good if it's been out of the
water three days instead of one.

If it's not going to be served fresh, it may as well go into a can.

Unfortunately, we're into the second year of having no local
salmon. There is expensive Alaska product that is probably
good but I have not yet bothered with it this season.
