Eat Salmon, it's good for you!!

[KewlBird]

I have always heard "Eat Salmon, it's good for you!", but never really new why it's so good. I found this article today which is loaded with good information... http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=104

BTW, The article shows that Salmon should not be raised on the farm and infact farm raising decreases population of wild Salmon.

I used to hate salmon with a passion,,, until I had some cooked at a casino buffet here in Vegas. Grilled/smoked on a cedar plank with some sort of spices on top.

After going up and snagging my 4th (or was it 5th ) 1/4 piece of Salmon fillet (most people were taking a teeny tiny part of a quartered fillet) my wife asks if I was going to leave any for others...

NOPE

Ahhh but it was soooo gooooood...

I'll have to agree that Salmon on a cedar plank is awesome!

ive had really bad salmon and really good salmon... the key is definately in how you prepare it. one day i read about smoking salmon yourself, thats when i kinda figured it out. i run hose water threw a cooler for 6 hours and once thats done i soak it in salt, a whatever italian seasonings i have laying around, or something like herbs de province. if your going for a sweeter taste ill put in some brown sugar and let it soak for another 8-12 hours in the fridge or some water and ice in a cooler. some worchesire sauce never hurt anything either! if your making it on the grill throw in some smoking woodchips too one time!

You know the funny thing about this statement(Kewlbird not trying to disrespect you) is some biologists would like to lead you to believe that this is true. In fact it has never been proven.These same biologists would never bring up the fact that maybe over fishing has anything to do with it.

In my opinion the planet needs fish farms in order to feed the planet with out killing off the wild stocks. Now saying that its still not a perfect science yet.

See i live in an area where fish farms are big business. The government would have shut them down a long time a go if it was doing major damage to the wild stocks.

Just my two cents

You want good salmon try dry fish done up the native way.
Do up kings,silver and chums.
We eat so much salmon get tired of it sometimes.
Do not want to see fish farms in the U.S.
