FYI: The 38 is my favorite when eaten raw like sashimi, followed by 40 as my second favorite. But that wasn’t the experiment haha also, prices are per lb, all pieces were started and same temp and cooked same amount of time. This is just all my personal opinion. Which is your favorite salmon to eat ??

Sushi grade, for the most part, just means it’s been frozen to a temperature that kills multicellular parasites like worms. Sure they might pick cleaner looking cuts for it, but that’s the main difference

Living in alaska, and fishing ALL my life, id say you made the correct decision at the start. Sockeye is a CLOSE second but you have to cook it right as it dont have as much oils so its not to be cooked as long as the rest. Which explains why its "dry" (cooks fault) but your heading the right direction.

I am not a big fan of fish or sushi but my mom does this thing where she folds Salmon in foil with peppers and spices and cooks for a bit. You are left with a juicy salmon with added peppers and what not. Highly recommend but I don’t think I have ever had grilled salmon like this and it looks divine.

If your company puts “Sushi Grade” on their fish they better be able to make absolutely certain that the fish is perfectly frozen when it arrives to stores and is handled correctly until purchased.

It's bad quality. Horrific even. Farmed salmon are kept in horrible conditions. They are crammed together in farms where they don't filter their shit out, so they are just swimming around in their own crap and often get really bad sores, parasites, and diseases. They often contain carcinogens, too. To fight this, they often use pesticides and neurotoxins in the farms. There have been plenty of cases of farmed salmon having high levels of antibiotics, which can actually make the people eating it resistant to antibiotics when they need them. Some studies have even shown that eating 1 meal of farmed salmon per month can expose you to contaminant levels exceeding the world health organizations standards. The healthiest and most sustainable way to eat salmon is wild caught.

Hey everybody a person here... 😁 The reason one can say that the farm caught taste more 'fishy' is because it may be that the farm feeds there fish grain and corn.

The thing is, I only learned recently that “Sushi Grade” isn’t a defined thing. Like you can slap “Sushi Grade” on any salmon you like, there isn’t any fixed characteristic that defines what is and is not “Sushi Grade”, or at least not here in Europe at least. So theoretically you could get the cheapest farmed salmon and whack a great “Sushi Grade” label on it and face no consequences from a legal perspective as it’s not a protected status, unlike Champagne which has to be from the Champagne region of France
