Wild Alaska Salmon

I was at Publix the other day and noticed they had wild Alaska salmon on sale and figured I would give it a try since we love salmon. All I can say is WOW, it blows any other fish away and taste so different from the salmon we usually eat! It has a vibrant redish color, meaty taste, and is just so juicy! It is seriously is the best tasting fish I have ever had and it’s on sale for only $9.99 per lb at Publix (usually $18 per lb). It is only in season once a year, so I definitely recommend you guys give it a try soon!
