BJ’s Wholesale Club is expanding its seafood assortment to include fresh farmed salmon fillets imported directly from Norway to meet its members growing interest for more healthy protein choices as well the USDA’s recommendation for more seafood consumption.
“When our members buy seafood from BJ’s, they can feel confident that it meets the greatest standards of freshness and sustainability,” said John Gorham, seafood buyer at BJ’s. “The Norwegian salmon industry is one of the highest quality areas for farmed salmon.
