You just made me feel better for spending $22/lb. Was a small gift to DS but yikes!

I'm totally ignorant on the differences between Alaskan vs. Sockeye - wild caught vs. farm raised, processing & freezing, flavor, fishiness, etc.
Any input/guidance would be appreciated.

Check Aldi's. Only tried once, but the fresh salmon tail pieces were under 8.00 a lb. Really good. We are having sockeye for dinner tonight. It was expensive and frozen.

I recently bought Faroe Island salmon and it was about $15.99 a pound but I bought it because I love salmon. Also, I prefer to buy it with skin on rather than skinless because it has more flavor. The salmon that QVC has is too dry because they remove the skin!
Perhaps you overcooked it.
I am on AD for Faroe from Q and eat it 2-3 times/week for years now. I have a freezer full.
It is NEVER, ever dry!
We smoke it, bake it, AF it, poach it...success every single time.
Dry salmon is overcooked salmon I think.

Aldi's didn't have any stores in our area until recently. Now, we have one, but I haven't been in it yet.
I always thought Aldi's were hardware stores! LOL

Approximately a year ago, my local Pavillions (an upscale Vons) had a special limited sale of very nice salmon .... just $5.99 a pound, limit 4 pounds per customer.
If I had looked in my crystal ball, I would have found a way to buy more, and freeze it.

Included in the $49.99 price of Copper River salmon is airfare because it is wild caught and flown in fresh (not frozen) from Alaska.

I hope the salmon got first class seats and unlimited drinks at that price 😂
