HSN hs a TSV today of Curtis Stone Salmon fillets. Has anyone tried his salmon fillets? Are they worth the money?

They are the same as the Egg Harbor ones sold on QVC. I have gotten them and they were delicious!

We love them and have them on auto delivery. Vacum packed so no freezer burn, but we don't keep them in the freezer that long. To me, they are worth the price and so good for you too!

I decided to give it a try. I put it on auto delivery, in case, we like it. I got a promo for $20 off. It had pretty good reviews.

Also, while I was looking at reviews, i found this from @Othereeeen

"Did you know that flash frozen fish needs ot be taken out of the wrapper BEFORE thawing each piece in the fridge? Because of what's called "Anaerobic bacteria" that is present on the flash frozen tightly wrapped fish pieces.

This bacteria can ONLY grow where there is no oxygen. As soon as you unwrap the fish and expose it to air, the bacteria cannot surive."

I didn't know this!

I am not a seafood eater. I only eat scallops. Is this salmon fishy? I would love to eat it for the health benefits. I did try it once in a restaurant and hated it.

Have had Egg Harbor Salmon AD thru QVC and prefer Curtis Stone AD thru HSN which I have been receiving more than 2 yrs at the original price. Rastelli is the distributor for all Curtis Stone food products. Do not know if Egg Harbor and Curtis Stone Faroe Island Salmon are both sourced from the same facility. The nutritionals for both 6oz salmon is identical. The difference here on QVC AD is Egg Harbor is set up for a specific time frame (ie. 1, 2 yr) while HSN AD runs indefinitely until you the customer cancel, and this special $119 would hold for as long as you keep AD. I have had 5 food products of Curtis Stone on AD with HSN for several yrs and original price remains even when beef prices have increased. This price on Stone salmon is very good. I personally prefer the Curtis Stone Faroe Island Salmon and it is excellent.

Egg Harbor and Curtis Stone Salmon are BOTH by Rastellis.

I didn't taste any diff whatsoever!

It is just the same fish but with his name on it.

It IS delicious.

that is interesting about defrosting OUT of the package.

I have NEVER done that and have been eating it for about 4 years now!

I'm still alive!

It defrosts in the fridge very fast.

That's correct.

Bags of individually vacuum-sealed frozen raw fish usually state clearly on the bags that fish pieces should be totally removed from wrappers and thawed in the fridge.

As an alternative, the instructions say to unwrap and cook pieces from frozen state.

I prefer to cook them straight from the freezer. It only takes a little extra time to get frozen fish done, without thawing.

@Caron122

I've had them from both HSN and QVC.

They are good.

They are NOT worth the money to some people when Costco sells bags of frozen salmon filets from Norway for a fraction of the TV price.

Costco's are farmed and harvested in (probably) the same patch of Atlantic Ocean as the more glamorous-sounding "Faroe Island" salmon.

Earlier this week, I bought a 7-piece three-pound bag of Costco's frozen Norwegian salmon filets on sale for $22.99---regularly priced at $26.99

Members of BJ's and Sam's Club warehouses might be able to find the same salmon at those stores.

YUK! I grew up with the best fish in the world. My father was a commercial fisherman.so I know what fish should look like. This is

so pale . I would never eat farmed fish.

Re: Curtis Stone Salmon

Carmie — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 20:32:28 GMT

I never tried it. It is too expensive IMO, at least for me. $10 for each piece and it is farmed raised salmon. That is almost $25 a pound!

I eat seafood several times a week, but i try to avoid farm raised if possible. Wild caught is normally much more expensive than farm raised, but not this time.

I can get wild caught at my local seafood market much cheaper and it is delicious.

Re: Curtis Stone Salmon

Farmed seafood is hideous

Re: Curtis Stone Salmon

@Cherylou

Not everyone likes wild salmon better than Atlantic farmed salmon. I'm one of those people.

Perhaps it's my cooking, but it never has seemed as good as the rest.

Re: Curtis Stone Salmon

nada54 — Fri, 25 Feb 2022 21:13:49 GMT

In my opinion the wild caught salmon at our local B.J.'s , while 22$ a bag, does not taste nearly as good as these salmon do. And the wild salmon have the skin on and you get the ends. Where these are all center cut. They are delicious and worth it to me.

Re: Curtis Stone Salmon

If you love salmon, look online for wild caught salmon shipped directly from Alaska to you. They are from the boats and processors in Alaska and are the best you can buy!

Look for introductory offers or specials, and do some research for reviews of the companies. You don't need to give a cut of the proceeds to some celebrity for their name and you get top notch seafood.

I have bought frozen salmon filets from Sam's they have been quite good. The problem is the pieces run about 4 -6 oz and are not the same size. Some are filet, the others are the tail end that can make them hard to cook evenly.

I watched Curtis cooking some of his salmon, and he pulled it off the stove, tore it apart, showing uncooked center. I have never eatne partially cooked fish. Beef, yes, but not fish. You can do that???

Sure you can. There are resturants that that specialize in raw fish.

I had a question after seeing the warnings about frozen salmon. What if you buy unfrozen salmon from the store chiller case, and then freeze it yourself. Is the bacteria warning in play?
