Cuisine & Edibility
Atlantic Salmon
Rich, buttery flesh with high omega-3 fat content and a distinctly full flavor. Versatile in the kitchen — superb grilled, poached, smoked, or served raw as sashimi.
Plecostomus
Not consumed — ornamental algae-eating catfish kept as a natural tank cleaner; widely popular in freshwater aquariums for its armored body and bottom-dwelling habits.
Species Overview
Atlantic Salmon
The Atlantic salmon is an anadromous species that migrates from the ocean to freshwater rivers to spawn. Renowned among fly fishers, it is also one of the most important farmed fish species globally.
Plecostomus
The common pleco is a large armored catfish native to South America. Often purchased as an algae eater, it can outgrow most home aquariums. Its sucker-like mouth allows it to rasp algae from surfaces and anchor itself in fast-flowing currents.
