CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to choose high-quality salmon

1. How to choose high-quality salmon

In supermarkets, some salmon are cut into pieces for sale, which is convenient for processing and storage. It is also convenient for consumers to distinguish the color of salmon. If there are one or several white streaks in the fish meat, it is farmed; on the contrary, wild salmon has firm meat and almost zero fat, so no white fat can be seen.

At present, the more common imported seafood on the market mainly comes from Japan, Norway and the United States. Yao Jun from the Alaska Seafood Council said that in order to ensure quality, the supply of wild seafood generally requires corresponding certificates. "For example, the Alaska Seafood Council in China will issue corresponding certificates to suppliers for seafood imported from the United States. Consumers can ask for these certificates for identification when purchasing." In addition, I introduced a few simple tips on how to choose high-quality salmon.

How to choose high-quality salmon:

1. Look at the appearance

Farmed salmon often have stripes on their bodies or spots on their heads, while wild salmon have a very smooth appearance and uniform color.

2. Look at the fish

In supermarkets, some salmon are cut into pieces for sale, which is convenient for processing and storage. It is also convenient for consumers to distinguish the color of salmon. If there are one or several white streaks in the fish meat, it is farmed; on the contrary, wild salmon has firm meat and almost zero fat content, so you can't see the white fat.

3. Look at the taste

Generally speaking, the texture of wild salmon is very firm, just like the feeling of eating lean meat, while the texture of farmed salmon is relatively "loose".

2. Is the North suitable for selling salmon?

The north is not suitable for selling salmon. According to the relevant information, the fresh food area of ​​the northern market, including the meat environment, is not very good.

4. What kind of breeding equipment does Japan plan to export to China?

While China is debating salmon standards, Japanese trading giant Mitsui & Co. announced that it will begin supplying salmon farmed on land using artificial seawater to Japan in 2019, and plans to export farming equipment to China.

According to Japanese media reports on August 20, Mitsui & Co. has recently achieved low-cost land-based artificial seawater aquaculture salmon mass production technology at its subsidiary in Chiba Prefecture, with an annual production capacity of 30 tons, equivalent to 10,000 adult fish. It is expected that the first batch of supplies to food supermarkets and conveyor belt sushi restaurants in Tokyo will be completed in May 2019.

Currently, most of the salmon used to make sashimi in the Japanese market is imported from Norway and Chile. Mitsui & Co. said that if stable breeding can be achieved, by the early 2020s, Mitsui & Co. plans to build large-scale facilities to increase annual production capacity by 50 times, that is, 1,500 tons. After the large-scale breeding facilities are put into operation, their output will account for 5% of Japan's raw salmon share, making it the largest salmon breeder in Japan. Mitsui & Co. also announced that the price of domestically farmed salmon in Japan is expected to be at the same level as imported farmed salmon.

It is reported that how to deal with ammonia discharged by salmon was previously a problem for land-based aquaculture. In 2017, Mitsui & Co. acquired FRD Japan, a company with ammonia purification technology, and broke through this technical difficulty.

Previously, land-based aquaculture using water from the ocean required a license from the Japan Fisheries Cooperative, but Mitsui & Co.'s land-based aquaculture using artificial seawater does not require this special license.

While Japan announced the mass production of salmon farmed in artificial seawater on land, China is caught up in a debate over "salmon standards".

On August 10, the group standard "Raw Salmon" led by the China Aquatic Products Circulation and Processing Association was officially released. The group standard classifies "rainbow trout" as "salmon" in the terminology definition. This practice and celebration has attracted doubts and anger from countless salmon sashimi lovers, who even declared that "they will never eat raw salmon again."

The focus of the debate is whether freshwater fish can be eaten raw. The salmon that people usually understand, scientifically known as Atlantic salmon, spend most of their time in seawater. Rainbow trout, on the other hand, are usually raised in freshwater ponds, which may cause them to carry freshwater parasites, and eating rainbow trout raw may cause people to be infected with parasites.

However, the China Fisheries Association explained that "whether salmon has parasites or not is not determined by whether it grows in seawater or freshwater, but by whether its growth process is safe and controllable." It also emphasized that "in countries such as Norway and Chile, farms in their countries also raise Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout. In terms of popularity, many locals prefer rainbow trout, and the price of rainbow trout is higher than that of Atlantic salmon."
