A very overated fish made popular by the Queen of England with cucumber sandwiches.

Salmon is a fish of the pretentious.

A freshly caught fresh water trout is the way to go, nothing comes close.

The farm raised shit you have available in the EU and LOS is. No comparison to real wild Alaskan salmon.

Just like your shoe leather "rib eye"?

I've watched a few of those Americans pillaging the wild programmes and I think the message on wild salmon is enjoy it whilst it lasts.

You really are a thicko. The fisheries in Alaska are the best managed in the world, and they are sustainable. Utterly laughable coming from a Brit where your country and a few other EU nations fished the Atlantic salmon to near extinction. Not to mention Atlantic Halibut.

We ate what we got.

When given a selection at the chipper, haddock is the standard. Halibut was always subject to availability and salmon was never an option. Cooked salmon is shite anyway.

Plaice is a bit awkward.

I meant Skate is a bit awkward. Granda was mad for it.

Did a nice prime rib...

Sorry, I was too hungry to post a plated pic.

^^^ Perfect Snubs...just perfect.

Whipped me up a salad tonight.

Raw meat may contain harmful bacteria including Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter and E. coli that can cause food poisoning. These bacteria are destroyed when meat is correctly cooked.

Ignore him Snubs that is cooked perfectly. Better than your chicken pot pie thing.

That's a sensational prime rib. My mouth is watering.

Come on Joe. Don't be knucklehead. That prime rib is perfectly cooked. All those things you mentioned occur when meat is improperly handled.

That's a 10 of 10 for a Prime Rib.

That looks delish! Is that cabbage on top in the white made as flowers? Seems like a Thai thing I've seen before.

I'd say yum to the ribs, but I wouldn't eat it, just because I don't eat red meat, but glad you enjoyed snubs. I have nothing against people that do eat meat!

Actually they are marinated Artichoke halves in Olive oil MM

Firstly you have never had the wild salmon I rave about, secondly you are dead wrong.

Like I said Salmon is over rated, pretentious and over priced.

Right. It could be as expensive for me as a walk to the bottom of the hill I live on and the worms I dig out of the garden, but in the store currently I can buy wild Alaskan coho salmon for $10 a pound. If that is overpriced, I suggest a career change.

I have this exact same story.

Except I caught 2

^ I don't want to be pedantic, but unless you were flyfishing on a stocked stillwater, in Aberdeenshire yours would probably have been brown trout. Rainbows aren't native to the UK and are usually only stocked for flyfishing on lakes and reservoirs. But I may be wrong, of course.

They have escaped from fisheries and polluted the waterways

Rainbow troot.

It was a fishing park in Auchnagatt, and I caught those muckle brutes using sweetcorn.

I want you to know, it's a rainbow troot'

^ I stand corrected.

The first ever fish I caught was a little brown trout about 10" long. I shouldn't have kept it but had it grilled on toast that night. I still remember catching the trout and the exact spot where I caught it from, in the river down from my mum's house.

This is my first fly-caught 8 fish limit of rainbow trout from Blagdon Lake, although front left looks like a brownie.



Once they have been in the lake for a while and eaten the natural food... snails, larvae, pupae, flies etc, their flesh goes from the yellowy/grey colour of farmed trout to a beautiful rich orangey-pink colour. I think they taste better than salmon, although I am comparing them to farmed salmon, not wild. I very much doubt I have ever eaten wild salmon.
