Today at my local fish store in NY, wild Alaskan salmon was $35.00 per pound. Basically unaffordable. That's why Michael Pollan's prescription "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants" is the way to go. Hummus and bagels sounds good to me. One of the guides to safe and sustainable fish is available at http://www.blueocean.org/seafood/ Alix,
