Salmon is yummy

| 2 Comments

I could eat salmon twice a week, or more, if I was more creative with my recipes. However, I've never seen (nor tasted) Yukon king, yet.

Spawn Fishing - New York Times:
Alaskans have long appreciated subtle distinctions between, say, a Kenai sockeye and a Yukon king, we in the lower 48 tend to call it all just “salmon.” Thanks to a growing effort to market salmon by region — in particular, by Whole Foods in the Northwest — this may soon change.

By far the most promising variety starting to trickle toward us is the fish pursued by Waska and his clan: the Yukon king. A salmon’s taste and texture is largely determined by its fat content, and in this quality the Yukon king is truly king. Salmon cease feeding when they enter fresh water, and the longer their migration, the greater their fat reserve has to be. Yukon kings typically have to travel up to 2,000 miles to reach spawning grounds, far longer than even the famous Copper River kings.

My Txn friend just came back with a little portion of it for me. It is indeed quiet special.

My doctor told me to eat fish but restrain form eating fish that live in the ocean.

I could eat fish every day.

Isn't it sad what we've done to our planet? The protein that is probably the best for us is so polluted with toxins that doctors suggest not eating it.
