That is excellent -- at supermarkets in the Seattle area, where the fish gets off the plane and goes straight to market, Copper River is running $20 to $28 a pound.

Dosen't it depend on which type it is? King is expensive Sockey and Silver is the stuff that is usually more widely available and cheaper.
Safeway had Sockey for $9.99 this week. but I'm sure the fish markets are selling King for $30+

IIRC Costco in ANC was selling Copper Reds for around $8 a lb... so that would be decent ^

Thanks Jer for the heads up^, I've been enjoying quite a few Stone Crab claws from Costco for the past couple months, time to get some salmon.

I had some great stone crab claws in Marathon, FL, but have never seen them carried at my local Costco...

I went this evening and they were out of both CR Salmon & Stone Crab Claws.
More of both is supposed to come in this weekend but the meat dept didn't seem so sure.

But its nice to mix it up a bit with Stone Crab Claws... since they are excellent as well... (one can eat only so much King Crab
)But in general, I've had excellent luck with seafood @ Costco... - I especially love their Poke bar in the Islands... - any one know if Kona has it?
