It's not unexpected to find a small parasitic worm or two in sockeye. This has literally dozens of them per filet, to the point where the processor definitely should have noticed them. Absolutely revolting. Also, the Sams practice of thawing frozen fish rather than just leaving it frozen results in reduced freshness. No idea why they do this.

I was very disappointed with this product. I like to purchase the whole fillet of salmon so I can cut down the portions myself. Normally, the salmon would have a nice thickness to them and they would come out perfect and delicious. However, this one was so thin and small it was ridiculous. It also dried up quickly with how thin it was. Not a fan of this. I purchased through online ordering for pick up. I guess this is what happens when I purchase it this way, they just give you the crappy product. Quality really wasn’t their priority.

I only work with ingredients that are worthy of my efforts, and that I would eat. Organic ingredients whenever possible, prime beef, and wild caught fish are very i mportant to me. I was very interested in attempting to make my own lox, and I watched the YouTube videos of Alton Brown and Bradley Robinson (aka Chuds BBQ) to gain the knowledge necessary to pull it off. My first surprise was when I opened the package and found that there were TWO fillets packed. I followed the instructions in the videos to the letter and the lox I made were far superior to any that I had purchased. I highly suggest making your own lox. The ingredients are few (Salt, brown sugar, black pepper, and salmon), the process is extremely easy, and the results are well worth your time, money, and effort.

I bought 2 packs of this salmon with the expiration date still 3 days away. It was an extra $7 off per package, so it seemed like a great deal. Well, upon opening it, it smelled of decomposition, and the meat was, in fact, breaking down. I cooked a small piece in a pan, but it tasted just like it smelled. I ended up returning it, no questions asked. I'm not sure what was up with this, but it definitely makes me reconsider ever buying salmon that close to the expiration if that is the quality I'll get.

We only buy Skin On Salmon

Smelled fishy soons as I opened it

Always good wild caught salmon. Never had a bad one yet and I’ve been buying it for years.

Fresh and cooks well. Glad it’s not farm raised.

The salmon is fresh and flavorful.

Great salmon , always on my list.
