 DS> Fresh Atlantic Salmon at Wegman's is $11 to $12 per pound now.

That is farmed of course.

 DS> wild caught such as you might have gotten in Oregon, the price
 DS> might well be $20 or more.

This week Loblaws is having a sale on salmon: wild caught Pacific
Sockeye is $18/lb (about $14 USD) and Pink is $14 ($11). $20 plus
is certainly more usual. Really fresh local lake trout is $8 direct
from the fisherman, who would only get $3 from the Freshwater Fish
Marketing Board, and Arctic char is $10 plus air freight from
Cambridge Bay in Nunavut to here.

 SD> I do not recall knowingly having mackerel.

 DS> Nor do I.

It's very strong tasting, oily, rather sardine like.

 DS> BUT, I have heard that like bluefish, mackerel can be quite
 DS> good if eaten when caught -- but that it deteriorates rather
 DS> quickly.

That was me when I was reminiscing about fresh caught mackerel in
Newfoundland, panfried in butter over a drift wood fire right on the
beach a hundred yards from the dock where I got them.



Cheers

Jim
