Yes, "fresh" flash frozen usually on the boat. Those who have visited Alaska probably understand how this is done. "Atlantic" can be any variety, raised in "ponds" in huge quantities, fish are white from lack of natural sun, and color is added to make them a pale pink. Not for most of us who truly love salmon. Fresh market has deep red sockeye from Alaska IN SEASON, sometimes on sale for $19.99 a pound. I would bet $100 that is NOT what was added for $23. Lesson learned. Just like butter fish around here is sometimes very "strange".. thin filet, not "meaty, chunky" texture, same with "grouper", interesting what sometimes passes for grouper here and around central Florida !
