The salmon farm industry is very big over here. And politically connected, so they are able to get away with more than they perhaps should when it comes to ignoring some environmental issues. The sea bed beneith these farms is completely dead due to all the salmon shit and uneaten fish food that collects below the nets.

The fish themselves produced over here is good quality though. We grilled some in the oven for dinner tonight actually. The kids love salmon.

Erik. I would guess?? The Norwegian salmon we get here, would have too be frozen and shipped.
Even so, some of the best salmon out there.
Not cheap but excellent eating.
Pogo. Do not eat that store bought Talapia.
We had a post going here on the fish from Vietnam and China.
Google it and see what the fish farmers feed them.
After reading that, I don't even want too touch the packages.

Here is a little insight for y'all buying "FRESH FISH" @ the supermarket. We do get fresh salmon from far away places like Norway & it's bootleg version from Chile.

Our company specifications allow for "FRESH IMPORTED FISH"
to be 14 days old when it is received into our warehouse. Now depending on what happens from their until it hits the consumer you can add another week.

Fresh my ass!!
