@Paolur I'm from Hardanger in Norway. The river in my hometown used to be one of the best salmon rivers in the country and it has been completely destroyed by fish farms. The vast majority of salmon are now escaped farm fish full of parasites. A few years ago me and my father spotted a fish in the river that was almost completely white from fish lice and totally blind, he walked into the river with a spear and stabbed it, it was too frail to resist and didn't even seem aware that anyone was near. For years we have petitioned and protested to no avail, the farm companies act like they own the fjords. Please don't buy farmed salmon, when you do you're helping to destroy a fjord that is a UNESCO world heritage site.

That's awful, but its important to remember that the reason why we need aquaculture to begin with is because of critical overfishing and resulting species collapse. I could offer plenty of solutions but never implement any of them, good on you for trying to take action via protest/petition. Hopefully better regulation on farming practices will come.

[@notgonnapay]

Thank you for taking the time to post this as many people believe buying farm-raised fish is more sustainable than buying wild, but this is not the case at all. Farm-raised fish live in what is essentially a giant fish tank and their fat and skin are full of toxins because of that. Their meat also has a much lighter shade of red, that’s because wild salmon get their color from eating krill and shrimp, whereas farm-raised are fed either crustacean shells or synthetic chemicals. Without this, your “responsibly farm-raised” salmon would be grey.

[@sethconnelly1271]

@@notgonnapayYes, but just like on land it's the factory farming practices that are the problem, not agriculture itself. Fish farming is more sustainable when done correctly; it's just unfortunate that crime pays and environmentalism doesn't.

[@tiffariff]

If you're ever in doubt, as long as it's not smelling bad and farm raised, just freeze it for a few days and then let it thaw. Sushi places according to law can either get what the chef got or freeze their fish for a week before serving. It kills the parasites, you'll always be eating a few parasite corps or two with raw sushi, probably a bit more with frozen sushi though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ HOWEVER. Frozen salmon doesn't taste as good to me :( in my experience they mostly end up like the frozen salmon here, very chewy and the fish flavor gets very intense especially with the after taste. It's safety vs taste. Unless you're really confident in your fish though, Id still choose food safety over a better taste anyday. Quick note: if you're salmon tastes frozen at a sushi place, they're likely not that good of quality sushi 🤷🏻‍♀️😬 as they're likely not really too worried about fish quality over just staying in regulation. If it's too fishy tasting, especially if it appears like it wasn't frozen, don't eat no matter how good it looks- said from experience. If you want to test for authenticity of the sushi restaurant, if they put a bit of wasabi under your nigiri sushi, they're more authentic. However, true authenticity would not be serving barely any salmon at all, as salmon was unsafe for sushi until it started to be imported to Japan from Norway and Scotland. Even now in my experience and what I hear, salmon isn't nearly as popular in Japan as it is in Western countries.

[@dsweedler]

Apart from freshness and speed of distribution, the most important contributor to taste and texture is the salmon feed for farmed salmon. Color is controlled by feeding a synthetic carotenoid pigment as a supplement to make up for the lack of natural carotenoids in the salmon feed for farmed salmon. Wild Sockeye has the strongest hue of orange and wild steelhead has the least orange coloration due to their natural diets as Sockeye eats a large amount of arctic krill. But farmed salmon can be made into any shade of orange by feeding more of this expensive astaxanthin pigment as a feed supplement. Only problem iis that the synthetic astaxanthin is very expensive (2K per pound expensive). Off flavors are likely due to ingredients in the salmon feeds containing protein sources that change the salmon's flavor profile. One thing not found in salmon feed is wild shrimp as it is too expensive a source of salmon protein. Hence the need for supplements and synthetic pigments to increase consumer acceptance of farm raised salmon.

[@tiffariff]

Man... does it HAVE to be WILD shrimp for the color to take place? If not... Maybe they should start advertising "naturally fed" salmon as a premier superior salmon, where they're fed a domestic version of a wild salmons diet. I know many people who pay 2-4x the price at sushi places just for good salmon- given I'm middle class but said people are even their kids who are paying with their minimum wage in college (given in middle class, these occasions are for celebration otherwise they got to a cheaper place for sushi) Wild caught for sushi isn't feasible/not safe, so naturally fed, no dyes or supplements, I bet would make for a premium taste people would buy into. Of course, the only companies able to do that would be companies also selling shrimp I would figure. Especially frozen shrimp, I would imagine that could be advertised as "parasite free feed" if the shrimp were frozen.

[@aptmix]

@@tiffariff There is. Just like land, their are good farms and bad farms with a giant range of quality control.

[@Auaeteloteleiaoalega]

I'm a Retired Commercial Fisherman. I wouldn't eat just any fish raw unless you really know the source. Everyone handles fresh caught fish differently, you'd be amazed. Also some fish carry different parasites. The older/bigger the more they usually carry, example Big swordfish have worms that grow almost the length of their body. I've actually noticed this in supermarket fish. The employees often have no clue. If they do they keep it quiet.

[@parrot998]

This is why any fish sold for raw consumption, at least on the US, has to be frozen for a week to meet the parasite free guarantee the FDA imposes. Though most fish is actually flash frozen on the boat these days from my understanding, so odds are good most fish meets these guidelines to begin with.

Thank You now I know what salmon to use for sushi im going to try this weekend ☺️🙏🏻

[@silenceyouidiot]

As someone who knows little about fish and has gotten into it on part of my diet plan; I could never stand the taste of Atlantic Salmon but after experimenting with Tilapia I tried out Sockeye and really like it. Tried some cold smoked Sockeye and it was also surprisingly good for my first try. Didn't taste much like fish at all, either.

[@tiffariff]

As someone is very particular too when it comes to fish, I highly recommend cod and mahi mahi. Cod is amazing and very similarly seasoned like salmon but more buttery in taste- almost like crab leg. Mahi mahi, tbh is like your typical cooked white fish but can be easily fried or cooked with that same softness as a properly cooked salmon or cod without being too "fishy" at the same time. I only get fish tacos if they're mahi mahi because tbh that's the only time fish tacos are worth it to me.

[@silenceyouidiot]

@@tiffariff I tried mahi mahi too and it's good; bought some for my Grandmother who cant stand fish and even she liked the taste.

Suggestion & Questions: 1) Write down the different types of salmon on a nice placard stand and keep them next to each item. (Easier for viewers to keep track) 2) Agree with other comments, allow Hiro to speak uninterrupted. 3) Isn't that a lot of soy sauce? The salmon is bathing in it. 4) How come no ginger around to help cleanse the palate between sampling the different types of salmon?

Be careful just because it's labeled one thing doesn't mean it's actually what it says on the label. Bluefin tuna are previously frozen and most likely you never ate a not previously frozen tuna at a sushi restaurant. You are being lied to.

[@aptmix]

It is important to note that steelhead is a trout, NOT a salmon. It is similar to Arctic Charr, which is also a trout that looks generally like salmon. They are all delicious, just thought I'd throw that out there. Taste wise, they aren't crazy different, but it's noticeable.

[@hellrats]

they said it in the video

[@Omakasenow]

Yes

[@connorskudlarek8598]

FYI, salmon and trout are of the same family. Salmonidae. Rainbow-Steelhead Trout are still debated to if their the same genus as Atlantic Salmon. But as of 30 years ago to present, they are of the same genus as Chinook and Sockeye. To say it isn't salmon is like saying Chinook and Sockeye are not salmon. That would be kind of weird. It'd be like saying Homo Erectus and Neanderthals weren't human species.

[@aptmix]

@@connorskudlarek8598 Trout spend their entire lives in freshwater. Salmon don't. They might be under the same genus but that doesn't make them the same. Especially in the kitchen. If you can't tell the difference between the tastes, then you should reevaluate. Also, different salmons taste different. Atlantic salmon is different than chinook. Sockeye tastes different as well, just as homo Erectus and Neanderthals had differences to their make-up, leading one to survive and one to die out. They are not 'the same.' There is a reason for the scientific distinction.

[@connorskudlarek8598]

​@@aptmix I didn't say they were the same. I said they were of the same family. They are similar enough that you call Neanderthals "humans". Are they the same "human" as homo sapiens sapiens? No. And are there distinct differences? Yes. Lots of animals of the same family can be o "Trout spend their entire lives in freshwater." That is false. A Steelhead is a trout that spends literally years in the ocean. Sea Trout (Brown Trout) also spend years in the ocean. We do have scientific distinction. But biology and taxonomy are messy. A Steelhead salmon is technically a trout. But it tastes a lot like a less intense salmon. And since it was considered salmon until the 90s, nobody calls it a trout.

[@spindocman2202]

A scary fact. Working drug interdiction we stopped a semi reefer. His load contained fish, cheese, etc of foods needing refrigeration heading for Whole Foods. He made several illegal stops to pick up unauthorized loads (dry goods). So he turned off the reefer while hauling the dry goods and then turned the reefer on to get the trailer cooled down before delivery to Whole Foods. Needless to say, Whole Foods declined the load but how many drivers have done that. Since then I haven't purchased fish from them.

[@ghcp29]

Love what you do Hiro! Keep making great videos! *Quick note: Farm raised is ok, but I HIGHLY DISCOURAGE Farm Raised Fish from Norway. There are major issues with these fish, both with diseases and infections. There are many documentaries showing this, a good one I recommend watching is: "Artificial (Full Film) | The Fight to Save Wild Salmon" For those who are impatient, and can't watch the whole thing, skip to the 52:00 minute mark to see why I say avoid Norwegian Farmed Fish. *If you're extremely impatient, go to 54:59 min.

Thank you so much...i will look at the video later...about fish from norway..it depends on the farm...we will be working with salmon from the Faroe Islands and they are the top...we can't wait to show everyone soon...please look out for it.

[@judytran1955]

So if its farmed raised its safe to eat raw?

[@Infinite_Jester]

@@judytran1955 Not always. It depends on the conditions of the farm and the type of feed the fish are given. Unfortunately, you won't know in American stores as this information is not included on the label.

[@johnhoang5892]

Judy Tran all farmed raised fish are feed pesticide and chemical. That’s why they’re parasite free. Wild salmon may have parasite but can be killed by freezing. Pesticide and chemical can’t all be removed by freezing or cooking. Look up the videos mentioned above and decide for yourself. Best tasting and safest salmon is the wild king salmon, but they’re $25-$30 a pound. Most store will not have them. You have to order them from fish processor online. If you do eat farmed salmon, you should only eat them occasionally.

[@blandrooker6541]

Back in the 80s, when I was training to be one of the first American born (Nisei) Sushi makers in the area, I was taught Kizaki Toshiro's method of preparing the salmon for service by briefly "brining" the cho in the liquid from the Gari that has mild antibiotic properties. It also enhances the texture of the salmon during the process, making it firmer and easier to cut, and gives it a distinct flavor.

[@andrewyork3869]

If I may can you tell me more about this process? That sounds lovely!

[@blandrooker6541]

@andrewyork3869 Sure, it's pretty easy. After boning and skinning, cut into Cho, immerse in a 50/50 solution of water and Gari brine for about 45 minutes or until you just notice the color of the salmon beginning to lighten. Remove, rinse, pat dry and wrap until use.

[@andrewyork3869]

@blandrooker6541 cool thanks!

[@lisn7175]

Do you have to freeze it if it goes through the curing process?

[@blandrooker6541]

@lisn7175 it's not necessary if you're going to use it right away, but if you're going to freeze it I would suggest using a vacuum seal bag.

[@mssredtamura]

Thanks for sharing this Idea

[@Garth2011]

I'm all for the Wild Caught since the price is about the same as farmed. I just can't believe the food and equipment to farm fish is the same overhead as a fishing boat, crew and diesel fuel overhead of wild caught. Farmed fish should be less cost in my opinion and authentic fish just make more sense even if they have to be flash frozen for sushi. I'm fairly sure that the Alaskan/Pacific Northwest fish are the best tasting vs. Atlantic.
