See a doctor. You may have no tastes buds or a rare condition or something
I live in British Columbia, responsible for the largest wild catch in the world. They don't sell Atlantic salmon here...no one wants cat food.
I suspect its a matter of how it was cooked...overcook Sockeye and it will be dry and probably taste not much better than Atlantic or farm fish. Sockeye is easiest as baked..

Sockeye should be kind of sweet in comparison due to the inter tissue fat content
Also remember that like all fish, the meat is very soft and does not like heat...medium heat all the way
They are located at 605 30th Street, Anacortes, Washington. Whether this is a clearing-house, fishery co-op, just an office for orders, or something else I don't know. I just use the order form that comes with the catalog, and then I get fully cooked, boneless, skinned and flaked salmon in "ready to eat" pouches delivered right to my door shortly thereafter, proving that salmon can be deliciously good, especially when someone else has done all the work, :lol: plus I get the Omega-3 in my diet without taking a vitamin supplement! :thumbs: :mrgreen:
No, they only farm Atlantic salmon because they become adult sooner. I have encountered this before with easterners. Sockeye and even Chum like low heat because of the low fat content.
But even Chum or Pink are superior to Atlantic
I broke down and bought the more expensive salmon (sockeye) and the difference is well worth the price. If My eyes ere closed when I ate it I would not have known it was salmon. I have eaten salmon for a year now and could kick myself for being a cheapskate-never again.

Just curious. Why are you so pleased with salmon that doesn't taste like salmon??
I've tried sockeye salmon and it's good, but not nearly as good as Chinook salmon.
Their flavor is superior, their meat is much juicier.....more fat I think.
Anyway, Chinook salmon are also known as King salmon for a reason.
How'd you cook it? Details please. :mrgreen:
The amount of flavor, I never said one said one did not taste like salmon. Maybe "richer" is a more appropriate word. One note, I bought some fresh yesterday and it did not taste as good as the frozen sockeye. Maybe from a different part of the ocean, can't say.
Bake at 400 deg for 10-15 minutes uncovered depending on the thickness. Getting the time right I the key as the fish gets dry quickly so trial and error is the key. Dry salmon is not what you want.
What'd you put on it? A rub? Marinade? Surely you did something besides just slapping the filet down into a dish and baking it?
Details please. :mrgreen:
We have a store a few miles from the house that supplies seafood to most of the fine restaurants in the city. Called Supreme Lobster. Their salmon is out of this world.
Look up a hot-cinnamon-maple syrup on line and very lightly rub it on the fish an hour before baking.
