There's nothing like a good healthy breakfast

It's snake oil for the wealthy. When I think of quality salmon, neither smoked nor Atlantic come to mind.

This. Salmon should be wild caught and cooked on a cedar plank (OK, it's a type of smoked).

Oh, that's what they meant. I had no idea. Thanks.

Unless of course you happened to prefer it cold, smoked and sliced thin at a given time.

Still it's rather silly that people are paying that much and fawning over farmed atlantic salmon. It's snake oil.

In your honor I had scrambled eggs, sliced tomatoes and nova this morning. Yumm!! Unfortunately not Balik, since I was getting them at a deli/bagel shop near my house. They were so good I may make them at home for breakfast tomorrow.

Depending on preparation farmed Atlantic can be superior to wild caught. It's got a lot more fat so with sweeter glazes it melds well. My favorite is king salmon which we get local in California. Closest to farmed Atlantic in terms of fat content. Wild caught koho and sockeye tend to be drier, but do well with a rub on a cedar plank.

Anyone coming to YVR from LHR in next month?
 

Ok, so it's a long shot, and likely better to post in the AC forum, but my craving won't go away either.
If you think Balik is hard to get in the US, try getting it in Canada!

Would gladly compensate someone who might be willing to bring back some Balik for me over the next month or so from Caviar House in LHR.

Anyone?

Is that a legal import? AFAIK into the USA it wouldn't be (unless its cured somehow?)
