This video is annoyingly underrated. He keeps this insightful info interesting and I’m enjoying learning about this! Great video, Brian!!!

This is an excellent review of the basics of salmon and general salmon considerations, what to buy, and what's most appropriate for your needs, tastes, and lifestyle. Although I already knew something about salmon, this video solidified some of my knowledge and filled in some gaps that I wasn't sure about. I'll probably see this vid at least one or two times more and refer to it from time to time, but for now, I'll go with wild-caught sockeye and later maybe a few other types just to explore and try some less-well-known salmon tastes. Thanks, Brian, for an excellent overview of an important dietary and gustatory topic!

Love how you go into details because I am trying to make salmon sashimi and so confused about all types of salmon! Thank you so much <3

I've rewatched this like 4 times now and have shared widely with everyone I know because the information is so good. This is beautifully explained, is succinct, and yet still has the perfect amount of info I need to make decisions. Thanks Bri!

Would you consider doing one for cuts of beef / steak as well? Beef is incredibly confusing. Also interested in the differences between meat counter/butcher vs. buying prepackaged sealed stuff.

We have a farm raised Atlantic salmon. Costco or Winco. I have a few friends who fish Alaskan waters so I do get King & Coho on occasion. We love salmon 🍣 period. We love it Grilled, smoked, poached, steamed, baked & raw. We love salmon 🐟. Great vid Bri….love the content. We’re subscribers for life. We’re both 60 so that means we’ll be watching at least another 20 years. Cheers and God bless. 🙏🏼❤️😎

My teen son and I were just sitting at the table eating salmon for dinner. We randomly searched for information about the different types is salmon because we were curious. This video came up first. It was extremely informative, and we enjoyed your enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing!

I really appreciate the reliability and high quality of work you do. This is fabulous, thanks.

I always buy frozen, wild Alaskan sockeye salmon from Trader Joe's. About $8 for 2 servings. I totally agree with your note about frozen being superior!

Been using Sitka Salmon Shares and was stoked this summer when they sent a bunch of King over. Definitely a treat!

I’m a Coho guy whenever possible. Thanks for the great video, as always!

Brian, that was great to watch, thanks loads for the info & really interesting.

[SinisterMD]

This is a great breakdown of salmon. Thanks for taking the time.

Great info in this video. For salmon, I think frozen sockeye is a great choice. It's interesting that you mentioned pink salmon as tasting more like trout - and liking that. A similar fish that we've grown to love is arctic char. It has a milder taste than most salmon, and is great sautéed and even simply poached.

Just tried Sockeye for the first time and did not realize it was this healthy.. unbelievable content what a gem

[kvandy]

Great video! I don't know enough to see how accurate you are, but you seem very informed and do a really good job explaining it all. We use "Atlantic" salmon at my house probably twice a month. Tried sockeye once, didn't grill well. I'll be trying Coho soon because of your info. Thanks!

I love salmon! I was at my local grocery store and they had some that said Imported from Norway and it was marked down so I bought it. BEST SALMON I’VE EVER HAD!! Now I look for it specifically. And I found out leftover salmon makes superior salmon cakes to the canned version. Who knew? Great video! I’m seafood gal and this kind of information is gold! Thanks B-man! ❤️❤️

This video should have millions of views, thank you so much for your wonderful insight!

My gf recently bought skin on frozen sockeye salmon, we usually buy Wegmans farm raised Atlantic salmon. I gotta say, I’m digging the sockeye salmon, a little more flavorful and I love doing it crispy skin style in the pan! Awesome video, thanks for all the in depth information!
