You've probably seen it sold as "Ahi." It's still tuna.

Trust me, son. You think you're eating salmon. I thought I didn't like fish until I moved to a coast. I discovered how wrong I was. Then I ended up working on top of the Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle for 5 years and ended up on the super-secret-squirrel we-don't-tell-anybody-about-it call list for when the Yukon river king came in how many pounds do you want.

For the longest time, America drank "coffee" while Seattle was drinking French roast Equadorian free-trade lattes. Now y'all are stuck with caring way too much about coffee. The stupid thing is, in Seattle salmon is sold by species and river. And it makes a difference.

Yet you're still eating "salmon." If you're lucky, it's wild-caught. Which means it's chum, or "Keta."

It's still the fish that the real fishermen use to catch the fish they want to eat.
