So true, SRS. That farmed stuff just isn't the same, although it's still tasty. I go a little overboard when the salmon is running local -- I found a little market that sells salmon the day it's caught.

Good news for salmon lovers -- the California Chinook spring run is supposed to be HUGE this year, so they are upping the limit on the Feather River to 3 fish. That's a LOT of salmon at 15+ pounds each!
