Then again anyone remember Sweetbay in LSL, until it was bought by WD? I loved that store staff was knowledgeable, great deli, well stocked.

Now LSL gets to shop out of a cardboard box. My guess is Kroger trucks will be far more prominent around LSL.
I am confused why would anyone buy salmon from Aldi, when Fresh Market has better quality in the same price range.

Yum, a buttery Atlantic salmon slow cooked on a grill via cedar plank. Is there anything better?

Hopefully it’s wild caught salmon. There’s so much farm raised crap out there. They have to use dye to color the flesh “salmon”

Yes, lots of better salmon! Atlantic salmon is farm raised, with questionable sanitation and questionable feed.

Wild caught is cleaner and better tasting. No additives for coloring. More omega-3's.

Try king salmon, or sockeye salmon, or coho salmon.

I'm surprised in today's age of information that people still believe this long debunked myth that farmed salmon is dyed.

I thought only conspiracy people still believed that kind of stuff.

I have heard from good sources that the color we get is not the color of salmon swimming in a farm

From three out of three sources I found, your "good sources" are mistaken..

Now, is it true that farm raised salmon is fed a diet that causes them to turn pink? Yes, the same diet they eat in the wild. Farm raised salmon is the same color as wild salmon because the farmers feed them a similar diet.

Just one answer among many, but I can tell you my reason for buying salmon at Aldi. We are very picky so we don't eat salmon out (usually), and Aldi is the one place we can get NON POND RAISED, non Atlantic, USA Alaskan wild sockeye caught in season at a reasonable (not inexpensive but reasonable cost). We have and do order whole copper river salmon at Fresh market when available. Personally don't believe anyone can come close to quality of Aldi's produce, nor beat their prices. To each their own, at least we have many many choices here, something to please everyone hopefully,

Costco has fresh wild Alaskan salmon during the season at a very fair price. Also, during the off season, they often have previously-frozen, cryovacced wild Alaskan salmon, again at a reasonable price and difficult to distinguish from fresh. Finally, they have two grades of farmed salmon in most stores - one from Chile and another, far better in my opinion, from Norway. The Norwegian is 2 to 3 dollars per pound more expensive, and well worth the price.
