When I first looked at the price of Copper River Sockeye Salmon late
last week, it was $11.95/pound. About as expensive as a Starbucks Latte.
So, I passed on it. Smart move. Today I moved in at $5.95/lb at
Uwajimaya. Found a nice 3 1/2 lb'er. Had it filleted and skin removed,
and the bones save.

Just in time, the SBF's mom arrives on the SAS broomstick from Helsinki
tomorrow. Ease her usual culture shock with a salmon dinner, with, of
course, boiled potatoes and dill. Dessert will be a freshly made
rhubarb/strawberry pie.

So, I feel lots better now that the robbers have had their knives taken
from them. And the prices are much better now. Hey, farm raised stuff is
$4.00/lb. Now why would anyone want that when real salmon is available?

Skin removed!!!! Surely you saved it. Salmon skin is a great delicacy as I
am sure you know, Alan.

Skin AND bones are always saved, Peter. Grilled just before taking the
salmon off the grill, it is served along side. As for the bones, the SBF
makes about the best fish soup there is.

At $1.95/lb difference, you sure would be throwing $4/lb down the drain.
Consider it this way, choice steaks taste better than select.

Hmmm, I may have to pay Uwajimaya a visit when we return from Vancouver
Island. The prices at Metro Market are still exorbitant.
