    Just what has Japan got to do with salmon in China, their different countries if you don't know.

    Both countries buy their wild salmon from Norway.

    Once again your remarkable stupidity is on display. The Japanese buy up most of the best Salmon and that drives up the price. Clearly you do not understand simple economics.

    Wrong again. Most of Norway's salmon is farmed not wild. China and Japan import most of their salmon from Chile then the US.

    Canada has not had a commerical Atlantic salmon fishery in almost a decade due to over fishing, in fact most nations have fished it to the level that it is either extinct or endangered. When people talk of Atlantic salmon these days it is almost always farm raised and not wild.

    I looked for published facts to compliment your statement, but couldn't find any.

    Have you got any defining links?


    But agree with "Most of Norway's salmon is farmed not wild", that is readily documented.

    Fishing was my family business and this is a well known fact in the industry but I only worked in the dockside of it as a young man. The Japanese would buy all the highest grade salmon right off the boat. I decided to google and it looks like a lot has changed over the years and China is now the largest importer of Alaskan seafood with Japan being second. But you can rest assured that the Japs still get the best of the best. They will pay a price that no one else will.

    a) search forum for the freshest most biting insult...
    b) to a hot temper, add an ounce of indignation and let rest for a moment until further thought leads to outrage...
    c) simmer amid feelings of injustice that gradually builds to a boil...
    d) post immediately; garnish with spittle and a touch of acidic retort...
    d) expose butt hurt to fellow posters; assert a vow of absence (forever, if available)...
    e) change user name and begin posting...
    Majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd

    You may find that Norway sells there Salmon through Vietnam, and also Atlantic salmon Frozen,is sent to China for processing and then sold to the US.

    Norwegian salmon is fresh and sold to Japan for there ever flourishing sushi business.

    I'd just like to point out that everything on that plate is there for a reason, and you probably can't see the basil-infused olive oil, just a suggestion thereof, mind you.
    Anyway - Slap, I tried it in the end. Salmon and harissa thing last night. I was OK. I can make it better though but I'd not have thought of that combination. Did look like shit though.

    Gaeng Som can be delicious. Glad you're a convert, csff.

    That Gaeng Kiaw Waan looks the real deal too.
