- vintermann 1y agoI don't know its prestige as food, but its prestige as catch has been high for a long time. A hundred years before Norway had a salmon farming industry, it had a salmon fishing tourism industry, consisting of various British lords.
- arnsholt 1y agoApparently salmon was considered dubious in Japan as sushi. I forget the details, but I think something about freshwater fish being inappropriate for sushi due to the possibility of a parasite in the meat that only lived in fresh water, not salt. So salmon for sushi was apparently pushed hard in Japan by Norwegian authorities and the salmon industry, I think in the late 80s or the 90s?
