If you are looking for wild salmon, Walmart supercenter has it in their frozen seafood section. It is $4 for a pound :D and is divided into 4 individually wrapped sections. The Mahi Mahi is also wild as well as the Cod.

So is the smoked salmon gluten-free? I have been eating smoked salmon alot since going gluten-free, but last time I was at Costco I looked at the ingredients (and since also at the regular grocery store packages of smoked salmon) and they have something like "liquid smoke" or "hardwood smoke" in them - got to thinking that this might not be gluten-free since I recall an issue with charcoal.....

I remember Costco was carrying wild salmon for a while. I haven't seen it recently though. Next time I go to Costco, I am going to ask if they still carry it. Wild salmon is soooo much better for you than farmed.

This is nothing new, a few years ago this came up. It is what farmed salmon is. If you don't want to eat it, don't buy it. It doesn't have anything to do with Costco, they're just another giant company selling a so-so quality product for which there is good demand.

The fact is that wild salmon is for many people a luxury commodity. The rare times I see it fresh in an upscale fish market it is $15 a pound or more. If you eliminate fish farming, there won't be enough wild salmon to replace it, as the wild fishery is tightly controlled in order to keep the population stable.

I bought wild salmon frozen at Walmart a couple of years ago. It was so mishandled it was inedible, and I threw it out. Maybe they've fixed the issue, but considering the bad experience I have had in general buying seafood at Walmart, I have no desire to give them yet another chance.

Yep, all farm-raised salmon has dye added to their food so that their meat turns a nice, well, salmon color.

I don't trust meat of any kind from Wal-Mart. I grilled a steak from there once and it was at the same time medium rare and gray. Eww. We go to whole paycheck for steak now :rolleyes:

There are many sites to buy wild alaskan salmon & other seafood if you just goggle it in. Some places even have free overnight shipping if you order so much . I have ordered for years wild salmon.

I checked the prices. Ouch! I think I'll be sticking to local fresh seafood.

I used to buy Coho Salmon at Publix at $9 for 12 oz, then I found the wild salmon at Walmart Supercenter. I've been eating for months now and never had a problem. It's always fresh, boneless and tastes as good as any other salmon. Unless you live in Alaska :)

Be sure to thaw it before cooking. I usually forget to thaw it early, so I put the whole pkg in a bowl of water for about 15 - 30 minutes. It's in convenient packages too. 4 ind pkgs.

I like it cooked in my cast iron skillet with a little water in the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side then flip it, turn off the heat and cover while fixing the rest of my meal. It will be perfect.

I've used oils, but you really don't need it here. Water works best.

The mahi mahi is excellent too. As is the cod. And no, I do not work for Walmart :lol::lol::lol:

I know what you mean about some Walmarts. They have let them get run down. We have a brand new one and an older one near me. And it really makes a difference. The new one has is going on. :D

Harvard ? Wow. I hope you are ok ? Last I saw you were trying to start a support group in SE Fl. I'm in the middle of the state, but the post caught my eye.

You should be able to get some really fresh lobster up that way. :D

Hope you feel better soon. Marcia

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
