Parent Club Review: True North Salmon

I must confess, this writer, does not eat fish or seafood...so when Parent Club was approached to review True North Salmon a group of salmon aficionados was put together for the review.

The What: The True North Salmon Company is a family-owned, Canadian company based in New Brunswick. Since the beginning in 1985, True North has remained dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship and committed to sustainable farming practices.

Recently, True North received the Seafood Trust Eco-Label Certification which identifies True North as a premium environmentally-managed company which demonstrates commitment to sustainable development, low-impact farming and conservation when producing and processing Seafood.

For our review; True North supplyied their Seafood Trust Certified Genuine Atlantic Salmon which is available via their Heritage Salmon brand (http://www.heritagesalmon.com/ ) at Loblaws, Longos, Sobeys and Metro stores across Canada.


The Review: Three generous salmon portions were delivered along with all the fixin's for Maple Bar B Q Salmon (yes, click that for the recipe) as well as cedar planks for cedar plank salmon. Though the maple salmon was enjoyed the clear winner was the cedar salmon - natural and healthy.

The general consensus was that the salmon was really, REALLY, good. I believe someone even said EXCELLENT. The reviewers noted the fish was moist, fresh and great tasting.

Everyone agreed that they would buy this fish and some asked where they could find it in stores (see above for locations).

As a consumer, I would certainly buy this Canadian-produced, sustainably farmed salmon. I throw my support behind farming practices which are ethical, sustainable and respectful to the environment.
