"As you know...it's all a matter of taste. I'm glad you tried both. As I was writing this, my wife brought in an add from a local market. Wild Alaskan salmon from the Yukon River. Regularly 7.99 lb on sale for $3.99. Will be checking that out tomorrow."

Arnie is you know I'm just across the alligator Alley from you and I was wondering which store has that salmon on sale maybe they have it in Naples also. my wife also is a big salmon fan.

Living in Florida we have some great fish options, but when I want something special I order from a family business in Alaska.

I really like their Tiger Prawns, they are 3-4 to the pound and they are sweeter and taste better than lobster.

Everything I have tried from them is great, getting ready to place another order in a few weeks.

Ralph, the store is Penn Dutch. There are only 2 of them, both near me. Margate and Hollywood. It does say frozen and it is in a cry-o-vac, so I will check it out.

Greg, tiger prawns are amazing. They are also expensive. The same store above has them for $12.99 lb. but not nearly as big as Great Alaska. They are good...like lobster. For me though, $30/lb for anything is pretty steep. 2-3 / lb must be huge.

Very tempting, do you suppose they would have a $3.99 sale? LOL

Ralph,

They are not cheap, but you can count on fresh.

Thanks Arnie,
How bout that! We come from PA Dutch country (Wife born in Lebanon PA). I'll have to stop in a Penn Dutch store if/when I ever get over that way again..

That is a great price, I would buy 5-6 lb vacuum seal and freeze!

I'm sure it is. My favorite is Halibut and they sell that also: Boneless & Skinless Petite Alaska Halibut Fillets $31.95 lb.

I'll have to bust open the piggy bank..

Ralph,

I know it sounds like a lot of money, but I figure if I went out to dinner I would spend 3-4 times a much. I feel the same way about steaks, I buy prime from Costco.

Also realize we don't eat this way every night

Here is the salmon at $3.99/lb. I bought 4 packages. The fish guy said they overbought so were getting rid of it in this 2 day sale. He said it's always $7.99/lb otherwise. Looks good. I will try it soon. I just made some the other day and we are still eating that.

gregbooras · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2015, 02:33:02 PM »

It looks good and the price is right.

I think this weekend I am going to smoke some fresh grouper.

Really good deal Arnie.. My kind of bargain.

At that price I would have filled the shopping cart.

Barrel99 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 22, 2015, 05:11:29 PM »

Some people did Brian. We don't have an extra freezer so it just wasn't possible. Especially since it is already full of other meats waiting to be smoked.
