Salmon from Montreal Chinatown + question

[tristar]

I see what looks like a nice piece of what appears to be wild salmon, the colour is paler than farmed and the fat content as can be expected is lower.

Andre how do you differentiate Atlantic and Pacific salmon based on a picture of the musculature?

Looks really tasty to me Hoggy.

Oh, I can see the difference, I assure you.

I do agree that it looks delicious. I may be misunderstood. It wasn't meant as criticism. What I wanted to point out was that it's easy to get fooled since there are about a dozen different species of salmon. This doesn't necessarily mean that Hoggy's smoked salmon is bad, on the contrary, just that one generally has to be careful when buying fish that is called salmon.

Don't get mis-guided by the structure of the meat, OR the color. I have many different lights inside, they don't give all the same color, basically it still has the color of the first picture, but more dull because of the pellicle layer.
This is NOT a complete filet, it is ONLY the tail part, the fish itself was much bigger, and for the fat content, you see that more clearly on the first picture as well.

Anyway, I will try it out today, and let you know.

I'm certain though that they must be much better than the junk they sell here on discount, labeled 'Canada'. Maybe you export the stuff you don't want to eat yourselves?

Guess so Andre......you know how it goes.......when there is demand, there is a market....
I can say that, as I am not a Canadian.

Looks like you cracked it Hoggy, where do I need to send that bottle of Talisker to?

Guess your offer does not stand any more with a fake salmon ?
Anyway...don't send it, it would come in too late, and I would need to send it back.

It tastes excellent.

Please share this particular knowledge or skill, that is what this site is all about, I for one would be happy to learn a new skill! It can't be "rocket science" or should that be "particle physics".

Nice work Hoggy... It looks excellent...

It's a pink fish, it obviously picks up smoke well and tastes nice...

Who cares what it is called...

sorry to be bore but the best fish for the job is river or sea salmon the one you have is farmed

[saucisson]

I'm sure you are correct, but you can only work with the material at hand...

Guess you are right.....no need to be sorry

Too true, Hoggy can afford to eat this salmon every-day at the price he paid!

He could still do some wild fish for high days, holidays, and Moderator's visits though.

Maybe dorsets can send Hoggy some wild ones to work on...

[dorsets21]

sorry canadas closed for the season first buy rod and fish will come

[wheels]

Is there the same massive price difference in Canada between wild and farmed fish as there is here?

most of the time you have to know someone to get wild fresh salmon ,because the fish mongers here in canada don,t know bugger all about were the fish comes from, and yes their is a big price difference if you can get it
