It's hardly a sushi story but Trader Joe's has some of the best
frozen fish around. However, I was intrigued to see that some
"Atlantic Salmon" was "imported from Chile" which hardly has an
Atlantic coast. The company maintains that Atlantic Salmon is
just a name which is not really true since the Atlantic salmon
is Salmo salar and does not occur naturally in the Pacific. It
is just possible that the Chileans are farming Atlantic salmon
but the practice is deprecated since some farmed salmon
invariably escape and they might displace the Oncorhynchus
species of the Pacific.
