Salmon, organic, sushi et al

Guest · 2020-06-09T14:03:54.440Z

Today I bought a sushi quality salmon fillet. I asked the sales clerk where it came from. Answer: I'm not sure but I think Norway. Question: Farmed or wild caught? Answer: farmed, of course (why "natural"?) Question: organic or conventional? Answer: conventional. And sushi quality simply means shock-frozen to 72C and thawed again. My questions: if the origin is conventional farming, then shock-freezing kills the bacteria, but not the antibiotics administered in conventional farming. Nor any heavy metals from the feed. I always thought that all Migros fish was now sustainable! Even without a label. What was that again?

Hello Aquarelle9, I have discussed your concerns with the Migros-Zurich specialist department. As a rule, only farmed salmon is used for eating raw; wild salmon could have parasites and is therefore less suitable. Sushi salmon is farmed in Norway under the strict conditions of the ASC label and is frozen to very low minus temperatures immediately after slaughter. This process guarantees a good, firm consistency of the fillet. For farmed salmon, we only sell label-certified fish, either organic or ASC (for wild salmon it is MSC). The feed for all farmed fish is regularly tested for residues, microbiology, etc. We can therefore guarantee that all salmon comes from certified farms or fisheries (ASC / BIO / MSC) and is therefore free from antibiotics and heavy metals. Your feedback on employee behaviour has been placed with the store so that they can discuss it with each other. Kind regards, Sina

Thank you, Sina, for the detailed answer. Yes, it would help if the salesperson could give more specific information...
