Atlantic Salmon

Today I was at Costco with my mom and they had everyone sample atlantic salmon. They made it seem like it was special and purchase-worthy just because it's because it's from the Atlantic. Now I am at San Jose right now and it's a city in the bay area by the pacific ocean. I recall when I was in Montreal (east coast) they sold "pacific" salmon at premium prices. I guess we are just never satisfied with what we have. Kinda funny if you ask me.
