You know thats fish from last year right?

How much was it per kilo ? I can't read it
I buy salmon from superstore often when there on a good price , month and half ago I was buying copper river sox for 11$ a kilo and chrome chum for $6.60 , a coho was priced with the chum and I luckily grabbed it , I can't blame the boats so many fish and they all look the same .

Actuley no it isnt they can catch them in the ocean
-
It is not from last year it says fresh on it . It doesn't say frozen or previously frozen.
-
$8.77 per kilo
i'm pretty sure this fish was fresh as it tasted awesome on the bbq !

Makes such a better deal over the other option. Love eating sockeye. Or kokes

Don't be fooled by the word fresh. I've seen a lot of fish described as being fresh. Upon closer examination it is evident that it's well past it's "best before date" The fish was fresh when it was originally caught

8.77/ kilo. This fish for sure is from last year. Thats less than 4.00 dollars/pound. Red chinook right now goes for about 8.00/pound so fresh sockeye at a superstore would be a little more expensive me thinks.

Rules are very strict when it comes to labeling whether a fish is fresh or previously frozen. I saw the same fish at superstore and make no mistake, the fish was fresh. You can easily tell whether a fish has been frozen (especially superstore frozen fish) because it looks paler and mushy. Now just because it hadn't been frozen before, doesn't mean that its in the best of quality. Judging by the color of the fish, it looks like it may have been caught either in river or close to it.

Lulz. Why bother fishing? Steveston docks, or natives, will almost certainly sell you fish cheaper than those caught yourself :D
-
Agreed, that's why flossing is so stupid. Buy your fish bulk from a Commie and then Sturge or bar fish and get them to bite.

Buying from a commercial fisherman is fine.... Buying fish from natives that were caught under a food fishery is illegal.....

Fishing is a recreation which provides both fun and the chance to bring fresh fish home. The fun part cannot be bought from supermarkets. If you think flossing is no fun or worse, stupid, then obviously supermarket is your only source for fresh sockeye. Since people can view the same thing differently, the bottom bouncers don't mind the crowd and the zoo like atmosphere on the sockeye bars, and can still have a fun day doing it. For those who like sushi/sashimi, there is no substitute for freshness of self-caught fish. Each fish is instantly bled. Who want to each a netted fish which still has blood in the veins all over the meat tissues. It smells of blood when you eat it raw. Who wants to eat that blood stained meat raw? So, we bottom bouncers are not stupid at all. We have fun and we have the freshest blood-free sushi. No amount of money can buy that. Way to go.

You missed the point. I agree that fishing is great recreation. I don't agree that this is good recreation:

While this is going on I'll be sitting on the bar rods as the Chinook numbers pick up over the next few weeks.
PS. you and I know it's not about sushi. You can get restaurant quality sashimi at Fujiya among other places. At least be honest to yourself what it's about, feeling like a hero when you kill your two socks and floss the rest of the day to get the Spring.

Good post thats why I quit fishing salmon in 2009.

No need to quit, there are lots of good opportunities still. The creek mouths fished real well this year and it should be a great year for the bar rods. Vedder has springs, Chehalis has some springs, Cap as coho. It's pretty sad that there are lots of guys on this board that have never caught a salmon any other way than snagging.
