Well this week for dinner I discovered another never opened bag of frozen salmon fillets in the freezer so I made some for dinner. I remembered the previous nasty “salmon” experience but didn’t want to make a big deal about it, I was hoping it was just a fluke… I still had a bad taste in my mouth (more cheeky N humor comes out) as a result of the salmon experience though so while cooking the salmon I snapped this photo because it still appeared to be unusually white unlike the salmon we were used to in Arizona.

I made the salmon with wine and lemon pepper seasoning on the stove top since I remembered our previous nasty salmon was microwave cooked and I wanted to see if cooking meathod played a role it how it turned out.  I also made up yummy rice and asparagus to complete the meal.

When N sank his teeth in to the first bite of salmon he yelled “Eww! This is not salmon” before I even brought up or previous bad salmon experience. I laughed of course because the last time we had salmon I was the one thinking it tasted strange and he didn’t believe me and preceded to eat his whole fillet and also mine that I rejected. Now he is a believer in the nasty crossbreed salmon !

We each only ate one bite of salmon before deciding it was really bad news. We at our rice and asparagus and N had some leftovers in place of the salmon. N also took a photo of the nasty salmon and agreed with me that it tasted to rubbery in consistency like cod or scallops (no the texture is not a result of my cooking either!).

After taking photos we pulled the packaging because we are quite particular about the types of foods we buy. We always look to see if it is natural and free of injections and what not. We got this salmon at the local super walmart and choose it because it said the salmon was wild and also all natural. Normally we don’t buy meats from walmart since they can be questionable but this tuff looked promising, it was cheaper and we are really trying to save on groceries right now since we have to save so much to pay for Tater’s birth out of pocket.

Anyway, we are regretting buying the walmart salmon now! Here is a scan of the packaging it came in, click the image to see a larger version that you can zoom in on.

Shoot, the packaging even says the Marine Stewardship Council certified the fishery so it should be good right? The we saw upon further inspection that the fish actually came from China, N remarks about the ocean pollution there and says it is no wonder this fish tastes so odd.

Other than the Marine Stewardship Council the packaging also references The Fishin’ Company and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. We’ll be writing all 3 companies with our complaints about this product. If you come across it in the store stay away! If you’ve got a similar complaint or comment about the product feel free to share it in the comments!

I hope this review and the comments help steer other people from the strange fillets. I am not kidding they are really bad and simply cannot be real salmon! Man, we are not happy about the lack of natural food stores here in Evansville.

I have lots of really great posts that regularly rack in the views but no funny search terms *tear*… Here are some search terms that jumped out at me today:

“walmart” and “memory foam” – If it is made by Canopy trust me it sucks, don’t buy it! We did and had to promptly return it thanks to the stink (explained below) and the fact that it is not comfortable at all.

“newness scent” + pregnancy – So they call the chemical smell from the canopy memory foam mattress a “newness scent” and yes it will make the pregnant lady in your life go nuts because it is not a scent it is a stink that is only worse with pregnancy nose.

(indiana bmv eye test machine)line 5 letters – You thought I would remember them and blog about them so your blind ass could cheat and memorize them to pass your own eye exam? Sucker! I failed and had to get glasses, so do you!

www.harvestofdailylife.com – why on earth would so many people search my freaking blog URL? If you just type the url in to your browser it will take you to the blog without having to look through all the search results you know. Or even better you can use this link (yep just click on the blue text) to subscribe yourself to my feed so you are automatically notified when new posts are up.

1a8846fefa19f4391919f99ef11ece80785de72a25fd20c9 – Seriously you searched that and ended up here? I have no freaking idea how or why but good luck with that buddy!

emotionally draining people – I know exactly which post this search term is from and am not amazed by the recent surge in the topic considering we just went through the holiday season. Almost everyone has an emotionally draining person around them at one point or another. Isn’t it odd that people search google about it though?

anorexic pregnant girls – I know you are not calling me anorexic because seriously I am gaining weight and I am sick of all the talk about eating a candy bar! Oh wait, this is a valid search term because of the time I talked about Nicole Richie getting pregnant.

Oh yes and those of you searching my full name or N’s previous place of employment and ending up here are just stalkers you know. One person even was search for pictures of “Talina (insert last name here)”. I have a feeling it was the same looser who left me a rude myspace message… Good times! Gotta love those internet stalkers.
