So many salmon are being hooked along the Northern California coast that the price of fresh, wild king salmon is plunging, at least for commercial fishermen who are on strike for a better deal.
Consumers seeking an affordable filet may be in luck if a market glut triggers a wave of price reductions. Prices were on the way down at some Marin markets last week, although many others continued to charge near $20 per pound.
But a strike launched Wednesday by many fishermen means the market will remain volatile.
