...salmon served in restaurants and sold in stores in the U.S. has spent much of its life splashing in huge sea cages off the coast of Norway. The catfish du jour is probably a product of the $704 million industry centered in the Mississippi Delta and is a cosseted cousin of the wild redfish that was fished to near extinction in the '80s craze for Paul Prudhomme's cast-iron Cajun cuisine. The succulent oyster on its bed of ice could have been pampered like an orchid in Quilcene Bay on the Hood Canal in Washington, or in Tomales...
