For some reason fresh salmon is really expensive in my area.  All I find
here is the fresh wild Alaska caught salmon which is good stuff but still
sadly out of my budget.  I'd be better off spending that money on a
high-quality Omega-3 suppliment though I'd much prefer the salmon.  I like
tuna also but all of my health team have recommended that I not eat tuna but
once a week due to mercury concerns.

I'd suspect that to be the case with most fresh-caught fish.
