I've been using sushi grade fish for my small sushi restaurant for 1 month now... (San Jose, California, usa) I've been using sushi grade fish for my small sushi restaurant for 1 month now... I was to use a more economical grade of fish to lower my sushi roll prices. I have heard that farmed salmon is much cheaper and contains near to none parasites. If I buy a farmed salmon fillet from costco and I freeze it according to fda guidelines, would it be safe to consume for my customers? Looking for Something in Particular?

The Norwegian salmon is selling at $8.99 per pound (see photo below). This is a premium over the price of $7.99/lb for Chilean salmon, sources told Undercurrent.
The salmon is being processed in the US, according to the packs. Marine Harvest, the only Norwegian salmon farmer to own processing plants in the US -- in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California -- is thought to be doing some of the business. Marine Harvest declined to comment on this to Undercurrent. Several suppliers from Norway have sent trial runs to Costco, one source with knowledge of the process told Undercurrent, asking to be quoted unnamed. It is thought Leroy Seafood Group and Salmar, the next largest salmon farmers behind Marine Harvest, are also likely to be involved, working with contract packers in the US. The Norwegian model for meeting Costco’s strict F-trim fillet specification is likely to be to fly pre-rigor fillets into the US, then process. Marine Harvest can do this in its own plants and others can work with co-packers, as happened during the infectious salmon anemia (ISA) crisis. Concern over the use of antibiotics has been cited by Costco as a driver for the switch.
Industry sources feel the cheap prices of Norwegian salmon and a weak krone against the dollar are also factors. Costco has, however, publicly stated it is working toward eliminating the sale of chicken and meat from other animals raised with antibiotics. There is an air of secrecy over who is involved, several sources told Undercurrent. “I don't really know who is processing for the other suppliers from Norway. At this point in time, it is not even clear who the other suppliers are,” the source said. Knut Hallvard Leroy, sales director of Leroy, declined to comment. Leif-Inge Nordhammer, CEO of Salmar, did not respond to a request for comment. Costco was splitting the 600,000 pounds of F-trim, fresh salmon it was importing between around six companies. Salmon sector sources feel the same is likely to happen again in the club store giant’s dealing with Norway, as part of its antibiotic free push. In June, Jeff Lyons, an executive with Costco, told the Seattle Times that the chain would switch 60% of its supply to Norway in June, with Chile doing the remaining 40%.
Chile has been doing 90% of the business, Lyons said. During the Boston seafood show in mid March, when the news of the planned switch first emerged, sources said Chile was only to keep 25-30% of the business. Lyons could not be reached for comment to Undercurrent. During the Brussels seafood show last month, Chilean suppliers told Undercurrent the decline in salmon prices out of Chile is partly due to the Costco move. Although Multiexport Foods and Pesquera Camanchaca said this volume represents just a minor impact on Chilean producers, the effects from the Costco move have already put prices under pressure, Chilean producers said. A source at one producer said he expected the price dip to be temporary, arguing that Costco will buy volumes from Chile again as soon as the Norwegian krone starts strengthening. Geopolitical and financial trends were included as some of the reasons for Costco’s switch. One of these reasons is the US dollar’s strengthening against the Norwegian krone, bringing down the price of Norwegian fish significantly.
