Copper River Salmon Is Coming

It's that time of year again. Yesterday, there was a chalkboard in front of the fish counter at the Pearl Street Whole Foods saying Copper River salmon is coming in four days. I asked the fish guy if that meant Sunday or Monday, since it depends on whether you're counting the current day as day one, but only got an answer of four days, so I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me, since it will probably arrive at a ridiculous price, something around $30 a pound I'd guess, which I don't think the fish is worth. The good news is that it marks the start of the fresh wild salmon season, which does become very enjoyable once we start moving on from the Copper River cult.
