I let my dentist into my mouth to pull all my remaining teeth last July, and the status now is that most of the high spots that cause pain are gone. While I have no idea how to habituate to having the plates in my mouth, the dentist says keep practicing with them and it will happen.

Meanwhile the all-salami diet remains on the horizon of fitted dentures, not to mention a goodly number of steak dinners.

Thin yes, but I never buy farmed. Any seafood product, just stuff with feet or hooves.

Some farmed seafood is far healthier, less detrimental to the environment, and more sustainable than it's wild-caught alternative. Aquaculture is a thing, and it's here to stay.

That said, these dudes definitely aren’t farmed...

Kevin your killing me here with this amazing food but more importantly where in the name of the 'big guy' did you find Boodles British Gin in St Petes? I am stuck in NY till next week and they have closed the 21 Club and trying to find Boodles is like looking for a virgin in a house ill repute!

It's pretty common in the stores around here. My local independent place that I walk to a block away is American Spirits & Fine Wines. They also have it at ABC Liquors, which is a large chain all over Florida.

Btw, it is never "St. Petes" or "St. Pete's" in reference to the city. It is "St. Pete" - never an apostrophe "s". The only time that would be correct is if you're saying something like "St. Pete's waterfront parks are some of the nicest I've ever seen."

Them there's the bellies. I'll walk over freshly smoked filets to lick a plate that used to have smoked bellies on it!

As a matter of fact, I think it's high time I make some more.
You can't eff with bellies. It is known. Nothing drives me more nuts than seeing commercial guys fillet that belly right off and either chuck in the bait bucket, or worse yet, overboard. It's like salmon bacon.

OMG those smoked strips are to die for........
here in Ohio, we don't get those unless we pay big $$ --- NICE!....... bdw
You will never meet an Alaskan who does anything but laugh at salmon prices elsewhere in the world. Particularly for smoked fish. When I walk through Pike Place market when I visit seattle, it is hard not to laugh out loud.

It's also hard to develop an appetite for it when abroad. (Yes, abroad means SE AK and beyond)

Smoked Salmon is crazy expensive here.......... like $10 for a little 4 ounce piece in cryo-vac.......... I usually smoke it myself, but it's still pricey. Good farm raised pork and beef though..............
That salmon you posted above has the most beautiful color I've ever seen. Is that Sockeye Salmon?

Yeah, Sockeye has the reddest flesh. Kings are more Orange, but also fattier. And quite a bit larger:

It's a tie between Reds and Kings, with Silvers a distant third. After that, way further down come Pinks, followed by Dogs. It is known.

I'm in the 'likes Reds a little more than Kings' camp, and wouldn't put the Coho too far in the distance. I think your assessment of 4 and 5 would get resounding support.
