 JW> Sockeye is the best

 DS> That sale ended on Thursday.

It may repeat. It's that time of year. I recently saw fresh, never
frozen, wild sockeye filets and steaks in my store for $7.49 per
pound.

 DS> "chum" salmon we bought cheap
 DS> maybe decent if we had a cat!
 
It is the least desirable of all the salmons (see below) but still
OK for what it's worth. I can buy chum as cheap as $1.39 per pound
and I do; I season it well when cooking it or make salmon salad
where the texture isn't an issue.

 JW> I'd avoid farmed salmon.

 DS> farmed salmon is about all we get around here.

We are closer to the west coast than the east and all our freight
goes through Edmonton so the situation is the opposite here.
         
I can also get lake trout cheaper (free if I go fishing) and fresher
right from local lakes and and also arctic char from up north, which
is my all time favourite trout-salmon-char.

  Chinook, (King) salmon: Largest of the salmon family, sometimes
  weighing over 100 lbs. Chinook reach maturity between 3 and 4 years,
  spawning in the fall. Easily identified by large, irregular dots on
  back and black gumline inside mouth.
  
  Coho (silver) salmon: Most Popular and numerous sports salmon. Size
  averages 5-15 lbs, world record is around 30 lbs. Identified by
  lightly spotted back and white gumline.
  
  Chum (dog) salmon: Next to the largest salmon, size averaging between
  10-18 lbs. Very good eating when caught in salt water but flesh
  becomes soft quickly in fresh water (salmon don't eat in fresh water
  and live while spawning off the fish's fat stores and muscle mass).
  
  Sockeye (bluebacks, Kokanee) salmon A small salmon, the maximum size
  is about 15 lbs usual size is 2-5 lbs. Sockeye are plankton feeders
  and few are taken by sports fishermen in salt water. Although
  commercial fishermen in Alaska fish and catch them with flashers and
  plastic squids. Identified by "blueish" tint on back and extremely
  small scales.
  
  Pink (humpback, humpies) salmon: A small salmon that seldom
  exceeds 10 lbs. Mostly caught in salt water by netting, (as with
  sockeyes) and often is the "canned" salmon. Identified by heavily
  spotted tail and very fine scales.
