I know, I know. (sigh) - but what to do when the farm-raised is the only
game in town and you have a hankering for salmon? I agree it's bland and
mushy. As I see it, I need to move to the West coast, preferably in the
Seattle area - or to Alaska, where I can catch my own. Confound my
neighbour, who went from Maryland to Alaska in order to go salmon fishing
and gave me my longing for the "real thing" ;-( I *never* see it in the
markets here, but then I'm in the boonies.
