Damn, prices of salmon are going to go crazy now and all the salmon lovers are going to lose it. Lol. I don’t eat it anyway, but that’s good if it’s getting endangered.
It only impacts the wild caught industry as well, farm raised salmon will still be readily available. Atlantic salmon has never had a commercial season for wild salmon in my lifetime because we would wipe them out in a single season, so it’s not that different from them.
People will just have to become more cognizant of where their fish is coming from. Avoid salmon from inshore farms if you can, the offshore farms are the best quality of life for the fish and have a nice fat content to them for extra flavor due to the better access to food compared to wild fish.
You know what’s wild? That we feed roughly 9 billion people… Daily… Every day. Every. Single. Day.
Even if we cut out the malnourished or rationed people, we are feeding in excess at least 300 million in the US. I can’t accurately understand that number of mouths to feed vs the wild. We are absolute savages and don’t even understand it. We consume animals like zombies.
you know what’s REALLY wild? When I was a kid, there were roughly 4.5 billion people to feed every day. I’m not that old, but the global population has doubled in my lifetime. Crazy.
On top of that, the US throws out something like…40% (I think?) of the food we produce. And a significant portion of that is food that has a long shelf-life in order to cycle out branding/labels.
I happen to watch Life Below Zero as background noise and other salmon fishing has been banned for a few years. A couple of the cast members used to catch large quantities of fish to feed their sled dogs.
I’ve always bought huge salmon fillets at Costco and chopped them up into maybe eight servings. It was always worth it. But just over the course of a year they’ve risen from around $25 per fillet to $40. I’ve told salmon to go ahead and go fuck itself.
It’s better to have expensive salmon now because we can only harvest so many, than to have expensive salmon in 10 years because there are hardly any left.

I love salmon
I also know that conservation is key and if fishing is impacting them, then it’s best to go a period without salmon

Tay capitalism.
Congrats on your love for eating salmon. Have a fish -> 🐠
I’m sure op appreciates the gesture, but that is not a salmon.
He also only promised/provided a fish, not a specific one
He provided a tropical fish, as well. Probably illegally harvested from the coral reefs. smh
Coral reefs still exist?
checks watch yeah, for now.
This only applies to one type of salmon (chinook)

😂 That made me lol. But yeah, my wife loves salmon (I don’t even get close to it) and man it went up big time.

Good because it needs to get way more expensive. Salmon can still feel pain even if they cannot scream.
Salmon is already expensive as hell a small piece the size of my hand is freaking $14
Oh wow. I can buy 600g piece for £11.50.
I’m a Canadian who eats wild caught often. I’m gonna lose it!
Yeah, the price seems double what it was in 2021.
