We had this fresh water salmon for a dinner, and I brought home smoked, canned and candied versions of it. Outstanding. And the story is an incredible one. I really appreciate you sharing it. I have a post started to tell this story, too... as I was so touched by it and the Okanagan indigenous people that are fishing it sustainably and preparing it in their old way makes it even more compelling.<br />Have you seen the movie: Salmon Confidential? Google it - it is long - watch it throughout a day, here and there. It is about the affects that farmed Salmon has on the wild Sockeye. <br />I cannot ever get chinook here... and did not realize that almost ALL Atlantic Salmon was farmed until just now! I am shocked:<br /><br />The stocks of wild Atlantic salmon have been reduced to dangerously low levels. The reasons are many: overfishing, pollution, environmental changes, aquaculture, habitat deterioration and disturbances of migration routes. Wild Atlantic salmon stocks in North America, Europe and the Baltic have been over-exploited since the 19th century and in many regions the species has disappeared completely.<br /><br />Thanks for the passion, heart, detail and important post, Valerie.<br />XO<br />VA Canadian Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525802223846633115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-13041178961572283732013-07-11T20:03:24.839-07:002013-07-11T20:03:24.839-07:00I have never seen Salmon in a jar but love the ide...I have never seen Salmon in a jar but love the idea.
