Loch Etive Scottish Ocean Trout

Faroe Island, Copper River, Ora King Salmon...fuggedaboudit. This stuff is the best ever. I used the Faroe for years and it's outstanding, but not even the same ballpark as this. I leave every bit of the surface fat on the portions before grilling. Some of it burns away, but I promise you've never tasted such luscious salmon in your life. Available from Bill Dugan, The Fish Guy, whose wholesale business is called Superior Ocean Products.

Right now, I'm enjoying a snack of the belly scrap, dipped in low sodium soy sauce with gari. Exquisite!

Interesting...because I purchased some of the very worst salmon--supposedly "Faroe Island" --at TFG's Elston store, at a full $9/lb over the price charged ($13.99) at New England Seafood Co. where I normally buy (they were closed that day).

Mealy, dried out skin, must definitely not fresh which, of course, I didn't discover until I arrived home. Glad you had a different experience but I'll never go back there after that.

I buy this from Superior Ocean Products, from whom I've never gotten anything of less than stellar quality. 4-5 cases of fresh Spanish Dover sole at a time, still in rigor mortis for example.

For home, I like shopping at Isaccson and Stein, where I'm able to see and sniff each fillet I select. Fresh Farms on Touhy allows close inspection as well. I tend to gravitate towards sword, cod, catfish, occasional Atlantic salmon for Donna, as well as cherrystones and previously frozen medium calamari.

Wasn't it apparent from the display case that the fish looked mealy and dried out (like Da Jewels)?

I've never shopped at his retail shop. I do know that among his commercial accounts are Spiaggia, Alinea as well as formerly Charlie Trotter's
