Canadian Salmon Pack Appears Promising
(By Our Grocery Reporter) Because of the shortage of Japanese salmon this season importers will be relying on Canada for their requirements. Latest reports from Canada appear promising. There has been an excellent catch of sockeye, the
largest pack at this stage of the runs for many years. The red variety has completed its run and the catch is very poor. Heavy runs and very large catches of the pink variety have been reported. The price is likely to be higher because of the poor catch in Japan. The quality is excellent and described as quite a bit better than the choice salmon last year. If the expected pack of 2,000,000 cartons eventuates, selling pressure could develop.
