    If you read the packaging carefully you'll see that these Tesco salmon fillets are provided by Youngs seafood to Tesco. In Sainsburys you can buy a pack of Young's 5 wild Alaskan salmon fillets for £2.99. What's good about the Sainsbury's salmon is that the skin and the dark coloured meat near the skin have been removed. This pack of fish is much better value - there's absolutely nothing to throw away. There is also less packaging.

    I buy the youngs one as well when I can get hold of them. I have bought them in Morrisons before.

    Nice shape and size and very nice with wedges and salad.

    When I opened the packet each fillet is wafer thin and individually wrapped in plastic. Printed on the packet is "Produce of China"

    Wouldn't be at all surprised if China didn't have a fishing village called 'Alaska'.

    Or a Distilling Plant called 'Scotland'. :rolleyes:

    Aldi food range is good overall, iw. It does, obviously, have a 'European Leaning' but great quality and good prices.
    Even better at Christmas, when their 'Christmas Salmon' is available.

    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
