This Salmon is great. I get it all the time. There's a lemon pepper one too which I plan to grab tomorrow.
Is it australian salmon , woolies site doesnt give any info.
Product of Poland, so it's a deal breaker for me I'm afraid.
http://oceanchef.com.au/products/all-fish/atlantic-salmon-po…
and normal price of $33 would mean it is normally more expensive than fresh Aus salmon.
$20 is cheapish but our local butcher always has frozen salmon for $20 kg.
BTW, how come Woolies can sell items online and not have to provide details like Country/ingredients etc?
So you not going to polish it off?
Its not as if Poland is a third world country with massive incentives to cut corners, and its a part of the EU. I trust Poland with Salmon.
most Australian Salmon is farmed anyway
Wholesale fresh local Is about $29.99 per kilo for skinless boneless so $20 frozen import retail should be ok price if you are desperate
my local woolies was flogging off whole salmon sides for $16/kg and skinless for $19/kg on boxing day.
That price was amazing . boxing day left over.
i've tried this before. tastes ok. my only concern is it is manufactured in poland and probably uses norwegian salmon which is supposedly highly contaminated (both farmed and wild-caught)
Damn, just did some research after reading your comment, and it seems that farmed salmon can be extremely toxic
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/07/0…They feed farmed salmon with a meal made from ground up wild-caught fish (which is where the toxins and heavy metals originate), which causes an accumulation of the contaminants.
From the article:
According to Dr. Monsen:
"I do not recommend pregnant women, children or young people eat farmed salmon. It is uncertain in both the amount of toxins salmon contain, and how these drugs affect children, adolescents and pregnant women… The type of contaminants that have been detected in farmed salmon have a negative effect on brain development and is associated with autism, ADD / ADHD and reduced IQ. We also know that they can affect other organ systems in the body's immune system and metabolism."A decade ago a colleague of mine attended a reception hosted by the SA Government at the Adelaide Wine Centre for Dr David Suzuki. The main course was Atlantic Salmon which Dr Suzuki turned away while giving the head table a short lecture on the environmental and health costs of farmed exotic fish.
Dr Suzuki was served a salad dish in its place- needless to say the rest of the table returned their salmon dish to be replaced by a vegetarian dish as well.Nice, but the waste is also sad in that story. But increasing awareness by educating others is still worth while.
All fish contain metals, thats why its advised to eat fish proportionately. Larger species have a higher percentage of toxins and metals. Yes … even local fish !
We wouldn't know for sure
Well i ate some of this last night and i am still alive.. it was very delicious.
I always try to avoid farmed salmon. Too many stories of contamination.
This item is temporarily out of stock
It's already been Polished off…
still available,I just bought another 2kg for $32 delivered.
how about Aldi salmon, is it also from Norway?
Poland and Norway are different countries.
The next Australian mining boom should be fresh toxic free local produce to the world Eg. Geena Reinhart started with local dairies .
What do you eat then, as most of the fish comes from Vietnam and that is also contaminated:

somebody told me, that all fish we eat at local Hunky Dory also from Vietnam.
All frozen Vegetables and berries come from China, also been reported as been contaminated with high level of chemicals.

The web site has, among other supporters, the National Vaccine Information Center, a web site masquerading as just a simple information portal that instead is strongly advocating against immunization for children. There's also the Fluoride Action Network and other web sites of its ilk.
The lead video on the Norway Salmon article is typical of such sites. Lots of alarm, lots of warnings from a blog writer. If you trawl youtube you'll find dire warnings about pretty much everything we eat.

Did an experiment on this one day at work (during lunch break). Type in to google "(food name) causes cancer" replacing "(food name)" with a type of food such as rice, soy, milk, apples, pizza, whatever, etc. and you will easily find someone with "proof" that it causes cancer.

Last time I looked Poland wasn't renowned for it's salmon … vodka perhaps but not salmon
Poland is a large consumer of fish and exposed to EU regulations in regards to food quality standards. I wouldn't be too worried about the quality of salmon from Poland.
Vodka and Salmon go well together.
Nothing is safe to eat… avoid all food!!
That's what they want you to think. But buy my herbal pills for 10 easy payments of $29.95. I've found one old weird trick to make the problems go away. Honest.
What you really need is a blender, its the only 'proven way to unlock the nutrients in food, at the cellular level'…
Japan sells poison puffer fish (fugu). Don't eat anything Japanese!!1!!
Death will be quicker then.
I got 2kg of this a couple of months ago, before that it was better
The last 2 kg is full is tail bits and really thin prime bits which are few and far between.
Im going to get whole salmon for $16/kg from now on and just fillet and freeze proper size portions
Nothing beats fresh, Sliced thick, It's a lottery what you get in those sealed frozen packages.
I would pay much for Australian salmon.
I much prefer this one:
http://www2.woolworthsonline.com.au/#url=/Shop/SearchProduct…Tasmanian grown salmon, very nice taste. At $23/kg I'd pick this any day over Norvegian Salmon packed in Poland - how fresh can it be after being on road and ferry for a couple of days…
This looks good. I got the 520g plain skin on ones. Fantastic fish.
Any idea on how long I have to eat these? (use by)
how fresh can it be
Fresh? They both are frozen.I've eaten kilos of both when cheaper than these - enjoyed both. But I did have some difficulty without an oven using the cook in bag approach of Tassal, but you can remove from plastic to cook. Of course you are paying a high price for the sauce with the Tassal.
The important question is how long it takes from when fish leave the water to when they get frozen. In Tassie that can happen very quickly. Same with wild tuna when they catch, process and freeze them on the boat.
I doubt the Norvegians ship living fish to Poland to be 'packaged'. The only way to get substantial savings from that detour is if all labour intensive tasks are done in Poland, like filleting and portioning. On the way to Poland the fish will be refrigerated, but certainly not frozen.
The fish industry is strange.
I was in a small restaurant on Bruny Island, south of Hobart. With trawlers just outside, I asked about the variety of fish on the menu. Waitress said I'll check the box - frozen portion controlled from Taiwan :-( Pass!
Local fish was too expensive, and needed to be taken to the market in Hobart, then brought back again.I went fishing from Bruny on a 100 year old Huon Pine sail boat with a local boat restorer I met, eating sashimi within 5 minutes of being caught. And then there were the oysters for free straight off the rocks! Absolutely the best way, but difficult when living in a city.
Was at Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo a couple of weeks back. Although Tuna is frozen on the boat, it is thawed & left in chilled "Tuna Coffins" for days to age before cutting, to bring out the sought after red colour. So that expensive sashimi may not be that "fresh" by the time it reaches the restaurants.
But between trips to great fish eating spots, I just save my money & try not to think about the fish I eat most days.
Home Brand salmon portions come in 250g packs. Product of Poland from imported ingredients, is what it says on the label. It's quite likely the salmon is Norwegian and imported into Poland for processing.
I bought about a dozen of those double packs when they were half price in October - fantastic taste and quality and the cook in the bag concept is really convenient.
Anyone know the use by dates? or is it "best before"?
It's "best before".
I'm finishing an Ocean Chef Yellow Fin Tuna pack with 20/03/16 - bought a few months back (along with the salmon for under $16/kg).Also, fish comes in separate plastic packs of about 125g. Quite useful - remove from freezer, thaw in fridge, without any mess or smell.
That Tuna is great
It's also on this deal at same price, just not as big a discount over RRP.
I just bought this and pan fried it for lunch. Not a bad product, but be warned, the skin still has scales on them which are annoying to clean off but you could easily remove the skin altogether.
The portion sizes also vary within the same bag to meet the total weight so it might be harder to perfectly cook multiple pieces at the same time.
Tastes fine by me.
first batch were scaled well. 2nd batch isn't really scaled at all. I don't bother removing the scales now, just make sure all of the skin has good contact so its all crispy and you cant tell your eating scales.
These arn't scaled, but I bought a bag they're nice
Doesn't say if we can defrost in the microwave though, it says fastest way is to submerge in cold water??
Pull out of freezer day before & thaw in fridge. Safest & probably best way.
I defrost everything in the sink/large container, just add water. The salmon is so thin it takes about 20-30 mins. 1.5kg of chicken takes about an hour.
frostman should know all sapects of freezing and defrosting
No scales on the ones I bought,pan fried lightly salted on both sides… delicious.
I've never found scales on mine. But it does have the yummy skin.
Stack with the seafood coupon for extra 20% off?
