*Friday update - see the post above regarding Copper River selling out quickly this weekend.*
It's always exciting to see the arrival of fresh, wild salmon in our stores this time of year, although it is of concern how it's becoming so popular (and with a focus on a particular river) that overfishing could be a real threat. That said, here's a rundown on what's being offered in our local Boulder stores this week (including the big chains for a change), in alphabetical order, as usual.
King Soopers (Table Mesa store, seen 6/2) - $24.99/lb for Copper River sockeye.
Safeway (Meadows shopping center, seen 6/2) - $19.99/lb for Copper River sockeye with Safeway card.
Sprouts (seen 6/2) - $14.99/lb for Columbia River king.
Sunflower (seen 6/3) - no fresh wild salmon this week, and they're hoping for some next week.
Whole Foods (Pearl Street, seen 6/3) - $19.99/lb for Copper River sockeye. Earlier this week they had Copper River king (I think at $29.99/lb), but the fish counter staff report they're having problems getting the king salmon in.
If they discount like last year, we might see some big sales from King Soopers and Safeway as we get further into the season. Some emphasis on alternative rivers, as Sprouts is doing this week, would also be a good thing.
