Salmon Fish

Salmon is one of the few things that are cheaper in the UK than in Australia. The average price is £8.8 per kg. Normally a piece of salmon steak for £2.50 is good enough to feed both of us. Today while doing our normal weekly food shopping, we noticed that they were selling whole salmon fish for half price! That means only £4.4 per kg. The deal is too good to miss, we didn't hesitate and bought a whole salmon straight away. Here it is:

 

The whole fish is 2.1 kg and cost us about £9.50 - that's about 20 Australia dollars.

After quickly watching a Youtube video of how to chop salmon, Brad dissembled the fish into several pieces - 12 decent salmon steaks plus the head and some other small cuts! That will give us at least 8 meals! What a bargain! We love salmon.
