I can’t believe it’s not salmon! Okay, I can believe it a little…
On today’s episode of Adventures From the Cafeteria, I discovered arctic char. It looks like salmon, has the same texture as salmon, and kind of mostly sorta tastes like salmon. In my scientific assessment, it tastes 78.6 percent like salmon. So, if you like salmon, but your taste buds say, ”Damn, I like salmon, but I can’t handle all the salmonness of salmon, it’s just too strong for me, I’d like it better if they would just, you know take it down a notch,” go out and grab yourself some char.
Unresearched note #1: Some people think char may be healthier than salmon. So in addition to referring to char as NotSalmon, you can also call it Salmon Lite.
Unresearched note #2: Since cost-cutting is always in corporate vogue, I’m guessing that my introduction to char was facilitated by the fact that it is cheaper than salmon.
Unresearched note #3: I’d take a picture for you foodies, but it looks just like salmon, so what’s the point? I’m sure you have a picture of salmon somewhere, if you need your fix. Look at that. Then imagine 78.6 percent of the taste.
