Saw my first batch today at local higher end grocer - $60/lb. Seems steep from memory, but also recall previous years when folks on here mentioned finding it at their local Costco. Anyone seen it there yet this season? Price?
I got one at costco last friday. $35 for a whole 3 lb sockeye. delicious piece of fish. been looking but haven’t been able to find any at my costco since
Thursday CR up date, sockeyes beginning to show up in better numbers and kings slowing down a bit.I think it could be a later than normal season , though probably lower numbers than usual for sockeyes
Agreed. I like smoking Sockeye or especially making Indian candy with it, but the “Copper River” label carries exactly zero clout with me compared to any other reputable source, and the price is stupid. King is also king in my book. I just bought a whole, gutted and bled, locally caught King for well under $10/lb the day after it was caught
It had an adipose fin so it most likely wasn’t a hatchery fish, and was caught in Monterey by my neighbor. But the hatchery salmon are released so young as smolts, and I really can’t tell the difference anyway and wouldn’t mind. 100% farm raised, no thanks
