Later, I'll roast up some of the purchase and make some salmon cakes, the well-received recipe for which is somewhere on this blog.
Although buying a fish essentially as it looked when, minding its own business it was yanked out of the ocean, is a little less convenient than store or restaurant purchases, at least we will have no concerns that it is what it is supposed to be. Turns out back home in Boston some people in the fish-for-sale industry can' t tell one species from another. I invite you to read this article from the venerable Boston Globe.

How come not once, I wonder, is there any mention of these guys selling more expensive fish by accident in place of less expensive fish?
In Alberta they did the same thing with pizza. It was never, ever pizza. Some gelatinous mass covering large amounts of uncooked something or other on a sponge, if we were lucky.
Speaking of people named Block, we knew a family back on the prairies with the same surname. Her first name was Amanda, Amanda Block. Shouldn't she be an offensive lineman with that name? Her son Andrew kicked extra points. Close enough I guess.
Jeez, is that who I think it is? Can't tell from that angle.
How's your Jack O'Lantern coming?

Can't believe you can just buy fish off a boat...Went to superstore today and bought the one lonely trout in the mega store.... Lots of beef though. I know the answer to that commercial that kept asking Where's the beef....It's in Lloydminster damnit.
The salmon was really good. I missed my shot at tuna from another boat. Next season...
