But it's very common over here and in some grocery stores in the US too. Yup…my best friend back in Sweden had a river just behind the house that was full of salmon…so I saw it a lot of times :)

I think it's because of very strict food hygiene imposed. Salmon is common here in BC. Have you ever seen a salmon run before? They are really something. Hey, thanks for the longish comments -- I enjoyed reading it. Hi Christa: One thing good about Vancouver is that we don’t have smelly markets.

Over here in the UK where I am it seems to be impossible to get fresh fish. Even in the fish market where the fish should be really fresh, it's outright stinky. And shrimps is something that I stay away from over here for this reason. It's really very simply to transport fish frozen if you have to, so it amazes me that they simply can't get it right. After all, this island ain't THAT big ;) Salmon is nice, but it has to be fresh. The kind you'll find in the fish market here is more red than light pink as it should be. So I usually buy it over the counter in a grocery store...at least they have it in ice.
