Where is the salmon good?

At present, the most famous salmon on the market is Norwegian salmon, so you may also think that the best salmon is Norwegian salmon. Actually, it is not. To say the best quality, it should be salmon produced in Alaska waters of the United States and English waters of the United Kingdom. Because salmon grown in cold areas of the ocean has higher fat content and more vitality, the meat quality will become more delicious because of "exercise", and it tastes better and purer.

Salmon is mainly distributed in the waters at the junction of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. It is a cold-water highly migratory fish and is praised as the "Emperor of the Ice Sea" by the international food industry. Studies have shown that both tuna and salmon are delicious and nutritious, and are rich in bioactive substances such as EPA and DHA.
