Buy Salmon Online For A Delicious Meal Year Round

By Essie Osborn


If you love fresh food, you probably prefer your fish not to come from a can. The problem with fresh fish is that it's not always possible to find, especially if you live far away from a large body of water. Moreover, it's usually a seasonal food so you can enjoy it only at certain times of the year. However, if you buy salmon online you can enjoy this delicious treat any time, winter or summer.

When it comes to fish, salmon is a very good choice. It's delicious and versatile but it's also a very healthy option. Apart from its high protein content, it's an important source of essential omega-3 fatty acids, great for fighting heart disease or for treating conditions like bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD and depression. Moreover, it contains a good supply of bone-building Vitamin D.

Salmon is mainly found in the northern parts of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. There are different species, from the chinook of the northwestern parts of North America to the masu of Japan, the Korean peninsula and Russia. The carnivorous fish live in the ocean but lay their eggs in freshwater streams. They can travel hundreds of miles inland to spawn, after which they die.

Overfishing is a serious problem the world over and salmon populations have suffered too. In order to supply enough fish to meet the great demand, there are fish farms in many parts of the world. However, specimens caught in the wild are more sought after. Catching it yourself is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and become one with nature but buying online is much easier. Moreover, you can research the supplier and ensure that the stock you buy is from sustainable sources.

As soon as you have a good supply, it's time to start experimenting. One of the simplest ways to prepare your fish is to grill it. If you want, you can marinade it beforehand. Then serve it with a few wedges of lemon or impress everyone with a peach or mango salsa.

You don't even have to cook the fish to enjoy its flavor. The Scandinavians cure it in a mixture of salt, sugar and herbs to make gravlax. The Japanese sometimes use the fish in sushi, but they have traditionally avoided eating it raw because it may contain parasites. However, buying your supply from a reliable source means that you'll benefit from the supplier's stringent quality control and you can avoid those disease-causing organisms.

For extra flavor, try smoked salmon. Serve it on a bed of lettuce with cream cheese on the side or stack all these ingredients onto a bagel. If you have leftover fish, there's no reason why you should feed it to the cat. Instead, turn it into fish burgers or cakes or puree it into a spread.

There is a myriad of online suppliers of salmon. To choose the best one, check their credentials and read what other customers have to say. Also make sure that they will deliver to your part of the world. Place your order and allow a day or so for delivery directly to your door, then take out the recipe books and let your creative juices flow.
