King and silver are even better than red.
Lol no. I spent the last fifteen years of my life eating fresh-caught salmon. King = Silver > Red >>>> Pink.about as incorrect as a person can possibly be.

I lived in Alaska most of my life, and the opinion there is exactly the same. People don't even consider eating Pink, I was surprised when I moved to the lower 48 and it was commonplace.LOL. You know nothing. I come from the land of salmon. King (what I call spring), and silver (what I call Coho) are vastly superior to Red (what I call sockeye). Sockeye is a canning fish as it is good for cans. I don't eat salmon out of a can. Sockeye is the "top salmon" for people who can't afford the others. I am not saying I am rich as I only have Spring and Coho rarely and Sockeye is good in a pinch but can't hold a candle to those two.

Mmm... Rainbows are the best.Ever since I got into the trout game I haven't even fucked with salmon. Trout for life.

You don't come from the land of salmon if you use these terms. Copper river red > *
salmon > trout
BC is just as much salmon land as Alaska. What isn't is that farmed crap you find all over the world that comes from Norway.
a LOT of farmed salmon comes from BC...
Pan-fried rainbow is damn good, but I perfer salmon over trout as well.Surprised to see that some people prefer trout over salmon. I always thought rainbow trout was kind of bland and full of tiny little bones. It's not bad, I just always liked salmon better.
Norway is top. We don't farm that much actually because Atlantic salmon is more suited to farming.
EDIT: Wikipedia has a good article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaculture_of_salmon
Norway and Chile account for two thirds of the farm salmon produced. Most Chinook/Spring/King is farmed in New Zealand of all places.
I agree that BC is a relatively small producer compared to Norway, Chile, etc. But the BC farmed salmon industry is still worth $500 million annually.
Yes, Atlantic Salmon is well suited to farming even in the Pacific Ocean. Atlantic Salmon is the the most common type of fish farmed in BC by far; Pacific Salmon now represents a very small percentage of overall salmon production in the province. See here.

Well, I had the Bumblebee red salmon for dinner and I have to say, it wasn't dramatically better tasting than the pink - certainly not enough to warrant a 3x price increase.
what do you do with canned salmon, anyway? Last time I had it was my mom making like fried salmon patty sandwiches with it when I was a kid.
My guess is that they're only good for salmon patties.what do you do with canned salmon, anyway? Last time I had it was my mom making like fried salmon patty sandwiches with it when I was a kid.
Smoked salmon is better for sandwiches.Good in sandwiches.

Ever since I got into the puffer fish game I haven't even fucked with trout. Fugu for life.
sockeye salmon for life
edit: wait you're talking about CANNED salmon? wtf, gross.
Salmon is fish and therefore not fit for human consumption.
