I'm a Believer
Ok, cooked Bernardo's frozen, 2", wild, salmon steak tonight and . . . it was soooooooo good. The color was not as red as I expected but that was because it had been frozen not because it was farm raised. The texture was outstanding, as was the flavor. Total salmon heaven. Think I'll make sushi out of the scraps. Yummmmm

If you like the steaks, dem bones and all, you'll love those filets.

Re: I'm a Believer
Bernardo is the gentleman who owns Ajijic Meat Center in the plaza behind Pemex on the Libramiento. Really nice guy, good meat, fish, chicken, and prepared foods.
I love the steaks, Gringal! Pan searing and baking at 400 for 10 min per inch gives the most succulent salmon, or any fish steak, ever.
I had no bone problem, just lift the circle of bones out of the center after it is cooked, along with any strays, and you're good to go. Lifts out so easily and usually completely intact.

Not the steaks we had. Dozens of the little devils. I think it was just that particular cut, though. We'll be back for more.

Re: I'm a Believer
Great news! Bernardo began receiving fresh whole fish from BC just a few days ago. I bought some filets today from a fish that arrived yesterday. I thought this was a bit early in the year but when I got home I checked the BC fishing regs: Salmon fishing season opened the 1st of April! He should have a steady supply for several months now. BTW, if you see only whole or half fish in the case he will cut some any way you wish.

I was just there too and the filets look terrific, bright color, good texture, and they are now freezing and were just icy when I saw them. yum
He also has started making fresh chicken burgers.
He said he will call or email me next week when he is due to receive the fresh salmon so I can grab a couple of them before they get frozen. I'll post here when he does in case anyone else wants to get some in that short fresh window.
