Catching this fish is not too difficult but it must be handled very carefully after catching. It must be kept in ice immediately and shipped fresh.
Best selling? Compared to what? I suspect that sales of farm-raised Atlantic salmon now far outweigh the sales of "wild-caught" salmon of all types species/types/sources, perhaps discounting the varieties of salmon that are canned.
Those of us who grew up being fed salmon croquettes/patties in the school lunch room at least once week (every Friday at Sanger Ave. Elementary) were willing to welcome the advent of fresh farm-raised salmon, better than canned by a long shot.
CRS are great eating, especially in the interim of their freshness, but then the ancient fisherman's maxim, to keep the time from hook to pan as short as possible applies. You would be amazed as how 'good" even a humble Great Lakes Coho can taste when it goes on fire within minutes of coming out of the water....
