Salmon is a very
nutritionally high value fish. They are high
in Omega 3s. This keeps the fat fluid at low
temperature and gives flexibility to cell membranes.
Omega 3s is used to make hormones that keep
the blood from clotting abnormally or excessive
inflammation. Salmon therefore is good for heart
patients.
There are 7 species
of Pacific salmon and one variety of Atlantic
salmon. The later have less flavor because they
are farm raised. Thus the real difference in
flavor is between wild salmon and the farm raised
salmon. The farm raised salmon is lower in Omega
3s. The Cooper river is one of the many rivers
in Alaska, that Salmon spawns in. This river
being in the far North is cold with 300 miles
of spawning territory. All these factors combine
to nice fatty, Omega 3s rich Salmon with firm
flesh. Sockeye Salmon, another variety, is best
found in the Southeastern arm of China Poot
Bay, four miles South of Homer Spit.
Sometime back,
chums were sold across the supermarkets of the
United States, instead of fresh salmons. Gradually
farmed salmon took over. But all of a sudden,
the price of farmed salmon collapsed. So, although
chums are a bargain, retailers were not interested
because fresh whole farm salmon were selling
at a very low price.
Chums have an
excellent egg, big and red with a pop. Europe,
Japan and even Norway have acquired a taste
for chums. Alaska processors now have a wide
growing market for chums. They have also developed
value added products using chum potions. Europe's
large supermarkets now sell skinless, boneless
chum potions in ready to cook forms.
Quingdao is the
center of China's seafood reprocessing industry.
US exports of frozen chums to China have gone
up every year. This processing can not be done
in the US at a competitive rate. The Chinese
give them a cost and take care of everything
else.
China has long
been consuming seafood and the Chinese have
always enjoyed a traditional diet of food. They
take fish as a good source of protein intake.
The Chinese economy has undergone a tremendous
change in the last few years. It has changed
from a sluggish to a fast moving market oriented
one. So consumption of seafood have also gone
up. China has always been one of the major fish
producing countries in the world. It has also
started exporting a variety of fish, an important
one being China Salmon.
China has always
been a major fish producing country in the world.
In recent years, more attention has been given
to developing the technologies of the fishery
industry. In recent times, among the major seafood
products, Atlantic salmon forms a very important
part. Salmon accounts for the highest percentage
in terms of value and volume in the seafood
industry trade. In the last ten years, salmon
has been the largest seafood product exported
to China.
The varieties
of salmon in China are Shanghai, Bejing, Guangzhou
& Norwegian salmon. These varieties are
processed and shipped to various parts of the
world market. So China salmon features as one
of the major seafood products in the fishing
industry today. China salmon is available at
very competitive prices and there is no compromise
in quality.
