Quoting Sean Dennis to Jim Weller <=-

Ironic that they would source their fish from South America instead
of your own Pacific Northwest.

You'd think so but the salmon was still delicious.

It turns out that salmon have really thrived in Chile since they
were introduced there from here. So they are plentiful, good tasting
and cheap. (Some sources claim they use too many antibiotics in
their fish farming operations.) North American catches have been
diminishing from a combination of overfishing, too many power dams
blocking spawning runs and water pollution so Chile is now number 2
(behind Norway) in (mostly farmed) salmon production.

I do miss my smoked salmon fresh from the Umpqua Indians of the
central Oregon coast though.

You have to be there; smoked salmon is hideously expensive in other
places, when purchased at retail. I used to enjoy harvesting my own
oysters and clams, getting (relatively) cheap crabs and lots of home
smoked salmon on Vancouver island back in the day. Here and now I
have access (well Roslind does actually, in her travels) to fresh,
frozen and/or smoked lake trout and arctic char in generous
quantities as well as sea run whitefish which are also in the salmon
family.

That's not certainly unreasonable for a really good meal.

I am still getting used to being able to spend that kind of money on dinner. After living below the poverty line for nearly all of my life, thriftiness is still something I react with

I can understand that. I've had lean times in the past and I'm a bit
like that too. As well my cashflow is very sporadic and I can never
rely on accounts receivable coming in on time so I get really tight
if I'm overdrawn even though I have a good line of credit and then
splurge a bit AFTER the cheque comes in.

I work for Leclerc Foods (I'm sure you know who they are being
from Up North)

I am familiar with your cookies.

Quebecers sure enjoy their drinks!

They do have that reputation. Back in the day when Canada flirted
with prohibition briefly the federal government was afraid to enact
it because of Quebec, so they decided alcohol matters were
provincial jurisdiction. Quebec stayed wet when most the country went
dry.

As well when Canada recently considered banning the making of and
importation of raw milk cheeses, Quebec stood firm in resisting
that move. (Raw milk cheese is perfectly safe if aged at least 60
days.)

Title: Sean's Salmon Patties
1 Can (14 3/4 oz) Salmon
4 oz Saltines finely crushed
2 T Onion flakes
2 Eggs
1 T Lemon juice
1 t Black pepper

try using a "lemon and herb" seasoning mix. You could also add a
teaspoon of dill if you like that.

I like salmon patties from canned fish too. Another nice flavouring
idea is finely diced celery in the mix.


Cheers

Jim
