Hi Diane, haven't I seen you on the Minute thread? How's Averill?

<<Lake Michigan salmon is Coho salmon and probably shouldn't be eaten in large quantities because of the PCBs. >>

Cohos are the talked about strain but 10 times as many pounds of kings are caught. The catch is cohos-up to 10 pounds, kings-up to 30 pounds, brook trout-small, steelhead to 20 pounds and browns to 15 pounds. The brookies, steelhead and browns being trout. Then we have lake trout which are a char and once were native.

The PCBs were used as insulators in electrical stuff. Outboard Marine dumped a 3 foot layer in Waukeegan Harbor.

Salmon here costs $10 a pound and pork chops $1.79. I had some mackeral but figuring the cost of the trip to Florida to catch it the price was $697.00 per pound.

Diane,

Farm raised salmon is almost processed food. You get very low Omega-3 fatty acids from them because they do not have a natural diet, but are fed a high amount of grains. In fact, the nutrient mix is radically lowered and different and the fats in the fish, instead of being healthy, are actually slightly unhealthy.

Only ocean salmon are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. The fact remains, that the average American is almost as undernourished in good fatty acids as the sailors of the 17th Century were with vitamin C. It is at epidemic proportions in the USA.
