I would say that the fish they came off of would be 6-7 lbs. I asked the lady behind the counter where they came from and she said that she did not know, did I want some or not... I have never seen steelhead for sale so I am assuming that they come from some tribal fishery over in WA. Any ideas where ??? And no, I did not buy any. But my son and I did stand there and mac down about half a sample pizza as a small sign of protest


My folks out in New England are also buying farm raised Steelhead and tell me it's in all the markets out that way. My girl friend was in at Pikes Market in down town Seattle this weekend and said that one of the fish markets there had real wild Steelhead for sale and marketed it that way. She asked if it was really wild and the guy behind the counter said yes, netted by indians localy. This practice can be stopped with enough complaints by customers.
