Comment on salmon
edwardbear@lemmy.world 2 months agoWell, I vaguely remember watching a documentary about it. They literally start rotting while being alive. Somehow, I don’t need to be either a nutritionist, nor a doctor to assume that flavour, texture, and safe-to-consume are all gonna be a no-no.

Yeah but that’s only when they’re on their way back to the sea. For Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest whose territories don’t directly border the sea (so mostly Interior and Columbia Plateau nations) the salmon run was traditionally a major source of staple food. The rivers used to run so thick with fish that people up and down the major rivers could gather enough salmon to live off for the next year.
