I splurged! - tommag - 05-16-2024
The grocery store had copper river sockeye filets for $10/ lb. the steelhead and farm raised atlantic salmon were $15/lb. They're ok, but not as good as reds or kings. As far as copper river, I really don't see a difference between that and other rivers in Alaska. Reds are my second favorite salmon, but I prefer kings as they have more fat on them.
Anyway, this red has enough fat that it started to soak into the paper wrap after four hours in the refrigerator until I put it in a couple of ziplock bags for the freezer. I've never seen a red that oily before. I'll be finishing my szechuan chicken and fried rice leftovers tonight but planning on salmon with cream peas and new potatoes for tomorrow.
