NEVER Buy Salmon at Costco Again — Get This $6LB Fish Instead

Salmon keeps getting more expensive, and too many people assume paying more means getting better fish. In this one, Old Mama walks right past the salmon case and shows you 7 cheaper fish that can taste just as good — or even better — when you know what to buy and how to cook them. We’re talking affordable fish like mackerel, whiting, porgy, tilapia, buffalo fish, mullet, and fresh day-boat fish — the kinds of fish families have been cooking for generations without paying premium salmon prices. Old Mama also shows you what to look for at the seafood counter: clear eyes, bright red gills, firm flesh, clean smell, and fresh-looking skin — because the species and price tag don’t tell you everything about quality. And here’s something most shoppers get wrong: frozen fish isn’t automatically worse than fresh. Fish frozen quickly after being caught can sometimes be a much better buy than “fresh” fish that has been sitting around for days. This video is for anybody tired of spending top dollar on salmon and wants cheap, flavorful seafood that actually delivers at the dinner table.
