Quick PSA:

For those who got the Atlantic Salmon from the FFM today (06/05/2025), please be mindful of a few things before eating.

If your salmon has a slimy or mushy like texture (it's floppy and not firm), any sort of discoloring ( a darker shade of the usual vibrant light orange/pink), or a noticeably stronger fishy smell thats pungant, or feeling unsure about it, please consider discarding it! We also don't recommend freezing it either for later use as that wont aid it either. 

We'll see you at the next FFM!
