So I’ll be honest, while I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE seafood fan, there’s just something about Salmon that I can either give or take. It just doesn’t “do it” for me. Maybe it’s because I never really had good salmon I suppose but it just was ehhhh.. alright. Well I was in the store the one day and they were having one of their “Only Gonna have this Sale Once in a Lifetime Truckload Extravaganza” Sale (that they have bi-monthly.. LOL) and they had scallops and all this other fishy stuff on sale. Well this salmon was ridiculously cheap and it looked beautiful so I threw caution to the wind and bought 2 filets.
