Because people's tastes differ! I have a friend who operates a B.C. lodge. He see and has the chance to eat sparkling fresh fish from May through Sept. His personal preference is chums.

I think folks who do not like a strong salmon taste prefer atlantics and chum .

I too get to eat lots of fresh salmon and steelhead. My top choice is Columbia River chinok. Next would be chrome bright ocean caught chum.


If atlantics taste like dog food. America sure loves dog food! We eat hundreds of tons of it every year. Much of it served in top flight resturants,
