Salmon is a large fish belonging to the same family as trout, but they are different species. The type of salmon most popular among Thai consumers is Atlantic salmon. Salmon can live in both freshwater and saltwater. When fully grown, it weighs between 3 to 8 kilograms per fish. Currently, the leading producers and breeders are countries like Norway, Scotland, and Canada.
Salmon has a long, tapered head, a thick body, dark green scales with spots, and a straight tail. When filleted, its flesh is light orange with a high fat content, making it popular for sashimi or steaks. Trout, on the other hand, has a shorter, rounder head, a body with rainbow colors and spots, and is shorter and stockier. When filleted, its flesh is deep orange with more bones and less fat marbling. It is commonly used for sashimi or marinated dishes due to its appealing color.
