We gave up salmon and now buy Artic char. It it farm raised but like a cross between salmon and freshwater trout. We love tuna but it is so easy to over cook. We love salmon but it can be fishy. Artic char is east ti grill and is really good cold water high Omega oil and great taste.,

Joke is on all of you. I don’t like any salmon. I hate farm and wild equally

Why do you keep saying this?
I admit, it appears a bit out of place on a food discussion board.

Sous vide would be the most ceteris paribus cooking option for the salmon due to its precise cooking temperature.
The only variable would be time which is easily controlled.

I'm unfamiliar with the experiment but, I think it would be safe to say that, in order to eliminate any independent variables from affecting the dependent variable, the researcher chose steam as his cooking method because water vapor would have the least affect on taste. Also, it would not surprise me if the researcher omitted salt from the experiment as well.

Wild caught and farm raised salmon are really 2 different fish, both in taste and preparation. One is lean, thin and strong tasting, the other fatty, thick and mild. The wild I generally pan fry or broil, the other I grill, smoke or cure for gravlax.

Faroe Island farm raised salmon is pretty damn good. Can’t really compare it to other farm raised salmon.
I was hoping this came up. That’s the best salmon I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been to the PNW to catch a variety of salmon species. That stuff is raised in pens so big they don’t feed them. The fish lives off what they would normally eat in the wild. Faroe Island Salmon has a buttery taste.
OP the Atlantic farm raised salmon is milder tasting than say wild king salmon, sockeye, or coho salmon. My kids prefer the milder tasting salmon. I prefer the stronger tasting salmon from Alaska and the PNW. But that Faroe Island salmon is by far the best tasting to me personally. Many on this planet feel the same way.

Have you ever caught a Chinook salmon on the Columbia river, or outside on the Ocean, in the spring (March-April)?

Wild caught salmon I had in Alaska was by far the best I've ever had. I like both tho

No I have not. Last Chinook I caught was in the Rogue River. Went out there tour a plywood mill and an Alder mill. One of my salesman I bought lumber from took me fishing. Boy it’s pretty out that way.

it's hard for regular people to grasp the concept. its infuriating. I had fresh alaskan salmon for the first time in 2016. you really cant beat it.
same goes for those in the PNW.

If you ever get the chance go for it. Those are the best eating Kings we have. Makes the summer/fall runs seem like cat food
Many rivers get a Spring run but the Columbia run has superior genetics and the most fat. Some of those fish travel as far as the Clearwater river in Idaho. quote:

Jet boat or drift boat? I'm going to get down there one day and go fish.

I love that area. Not close so I don't get that way very often.

For sure. As I said, just the "fresh" salmon I see in my local grocery stores doesn't compare to fresh caught and freshly cooked.
And they are near the source.
I don't eat a lot of salmon but when I do it was caught that day or the previous day if I'm wiped out from chasing them.

My apologies I’ve been working insane hours the past few weeks and just saw your response. We did drift boat. I’d like to do the things you suggested I just need to carve out some time and make it happen. The Pacific Northwest is such a beautiful place and the fishing is outstanding best I can tell, particularly if you hit it at the right time. I absolutely love salmon and it’s so good for you. Anything I seem to like as much as salmon is 9 out of 10 times not the most healthy food a person can eat.

24 lb King Salmon, she cut beautifully.

The Faroe Islands Salmon is hard to beat. Ora king is what the higher end restaurants have gone to.

Mee too. It just doesn’t taste good. They’re sooooo many better options. Tuna, flounder, grouper, snapper etc.
Why eat stinky oily fish?
