The price of salmon varies greatly from high to low. Why are some "cheap" and some "sky-high"?

The price of salmon varies greatly from high to low. The reason why some are cheap and some are sky-high is that they are imported from different countries, and some are wild and some are farmed. Many friends go to the buffet restaurant to eat, and when they see salmon, they immediately take a lot to eat. They think that as long as they eat one or two pieces, they will feel that they have made their money back. After all, the price of salmon in the seafood market is very expensive. However, no matter how much you eat, the buffet restaurant will not go bankrupt, because their salmon may be imported from some cheaper countries or artificially farmed salmon, and some are even disguised as other fish. Next, I will explain this matter to you.

The price of salmon is too cheap, and the price of salmon is sky-high. Some are wild and some are farmed. The difference between their prices is huge. Wild salmon is expensive because it is not polluted in the deep sea and is not easily infected by parasites. After all, wild salmon has strong survival ability. However, if people want to breed it artificially, they usually raise it in coastal areas near the sea. This will greatly reduce the survival ability of salmon and make it easy to be infected by some bacteria. In addition, the water quality near the sea is not so good, so the taste of the farmed salmon is not so good, and the price is relatively cheaper.

The reason why the price of salmon varies so much is that it may be disguised as other fish. When we go to a buffet restaurant and see salmon, we immediately go to eat it, but some friends don’t know what real salmon is. How to identify salmon? First of all, you can look at the color. The color of salmon is very bright and the texture is very clear, but this is just the surface. For example, mackerel and trout have a texture similar to salmon, but mackerel and trout are quite cheap, so many businesses use these two types of fish for camouflage.

If you have any better suggestions on this, please write them in the comments below and we can discuss them together.

When it comes to Japanese cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is salmon sashimi. Salmon can be said to be the most important sashimi, and it is also known as the "number one sashimi". The taste is delicate, and there are no extra tendons and fish bones on the fish. The color is also very beautiful, red and white, and the white stripes are unsaturated fatty acids. Among all fish, salmon has the most unsaturated fatty acids, reaching 27 grams of fatty acids per 100 grams. It can effectively prevent the probability of hypertension and heart disease. Because it is a deep-sea cold water fish, salmon must store rich fat in order to maintain its life in deep-sea cold water, so we see that the fat stripes of good salmon are very beautiful. But why are the prices of salmon on the market different? From a few dozen yuan per catty to more than a hundred yuan per catty, let's find out.

1. Different salmon species and origins. In fact, the best salmon species are found in the Alaska waters of the United States and the England waters of the United Kingdom, because the waters of these two places are not polluted and the temperature is very low. Because of the low temperature, their metabolism is very slow, resulting in very fresh and sweet meat. However, we generally cannot eat salmon from these two places. What we see in the market is basically Norwegian salmon, which is about 138/catties, Chilean salmon, which is about 98/catties, and domestic Northeast rainbow trout, which is about 60/catties. The three types are different in body shape. The head of Norwegian salmon is relatively pointed, and the mouth is also relatively thick and long. Chile and rainbow trout are similar in appearance, with relatively round heads, but the skin color of Chile is silver with black spots like Norway. The skin color of rainbow trout is yellow, and it is relatively easy to distinguish from the skin. In terms of taste, Norway is more fragrant but the meat is loose. Chile's meat is relatively sweet and solid. Rainbow trout is not as good as Norway and Chile in terms of meat quality and taste.

2. Salmon fishing period and weight size November to December every year is the best time to fish salmon, so the salmon caught during this period are very plump. The best weight of salmon is about 6 to 8 kilograms. If it is too small, the meat yield is very low, and the fat content is very low, and the nutritional value will be much lower. If it is too big, the meat will become old and the taste will be woody. Therefore, the price will also be different.

3. Salmons live in different environments. Salmons are now divided into wild and farmed. Wild salmon are much more expensive because they are naturally caught and therefore more ferocious, and their meat is more compact. However, they are hard to find in the market because they need to be hand-fished or caught with a large net, so the yield is very small. Farmed salmon are basically the most common in the market. Although the meat quality is not as good as wild salmon, the taste is also first-class.

So, what other factors affect the price of salmon besides those analyzed by Xiaojiang? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area below.

Salmons are distributed in the Pacific Ocean, Europe, Asia and the northern part of America. Wild salmon are mostly found in Alaska and Canada. The price of salmon in supermarkets is 140/K, and the price of salmon in the market is 120/kg. So those cheap salmon may not be wild, while the expensive salmon are wild, and they are more expensive because they are rare.

The quality of salmon from different origins varies due to different origins and breeding methods. Among them, Norwegian salmon has the best quality.

The price of salmon varies greatly, and it depends on the place of origin. The price of natural salmon from Japan will be very high because it is caught in the sterile Sea of ​​Japan. The price of salmon raised domestically will be much lower.

What is the market price of salmon now?

I am from Benxi Aigemolin, specializing in salmon farming. I hope my answer will satisfy you.

The price of salmon is affected by many factors, including the origin, quality, region, and sales model of the fish.

Origin: Norway is the most expensive, followed by the Faroe Islands, then Chile, and finally domestic products.

Quality: Fresh＞Thawed

Region: First-tier cities are cheaper than second- and third-tier cities because they are basically imported and the transportation cost is low in first-tier cities

Sales model: The hotel is more expensive than the supermarket, the supermarket is more expensive than the aquatic market, the aquatic market is more expensive than our fish farm

For specific prices, you can refer to the selling prices on Taobao. 30-100 yuan/jin is within the normal range.
