Wow! Had no idea Salmons looked so ferocious, kind of like a toned-down but slightly elongated Piranha? All these years because Salmon meat tastes so good and so colorful, I had always assumed they were cuddly and friendly looking fish, like those happy cows roaming California.

Mrs. javabytes likes fish quite a bit (I do not), but I recently acquired some for her from my go-to meat guy (who runs a high-end meat business and is fastidious about sourcing) and she said it was among the best salmon she's ever eaten. She grew up on the east coast and is acclimated mostly to Atlantic salmon. She cooked this herself the day it arrived, so it was incredibly fresh... of course what you can get in a restaurant may vary in that regard... but she gave it her strongest endorsement and now I'm in trouble because she's already hooked on Australian wagyu too...
