Where do you suppose that this fish came from?



Alaska?

That is what I thought when I bought it,

but Nooooooo!


One guess....



Who do I bitch to about this other  than Arfcom?

I suspect it was caught by the Chincom Fishing Fleet in Alaskan waters and processed in China.

This particular scam has been going on for at least a few years now.  You have to be really picky about the food you buy.  Oh, and as for Wal-Mart, all of their shit is made in China.  I spend my money elsewhere.

Chinese "Alaskan" salmon, probably has a ton of lead in it.

Yeah, I found that on the package elsewhere.  "Caught in US territorial waters and processed in China.   I feel better now.    

Alaskan Salmon should come from Alaska.  

That would be like me going to Cuba, grabbing some tobacco and rolling some cigars at home...

or growing some Cuban seed and calling my stogies 'Cuban'... it isn't.

I think the last numbers I saw, 87% of WM SKU's are from China. Now if you consider a portion of their SKU's coming from Mexico, etc. Does not leave much for USA goods.


Just wait until they start importing a large percentage of their produce from China.

We used to buy boxes of shrimp off the Schwans trucks. Seemed like everytime we ate it I got bad headaches. Finally noticed on the bag it said product of Nigeria. Never bought anymore Schwans.

Why the hell are they allowed to fish in our territorial waters?

This year the salmon take is being stopped on most of the West Coast.

WWB ammo, bought at Wal-Mart.

There's literally hundreds of other examples, but I'm not taking that many pictures. As for cheep shit at the stores, ALL of it is made in China, in EVERY SINGLE BLINKING STORE. What, does Wal-Mart have a special ammo plant in USA, China?

Check out half the tools at Sears one of these days.

Actually there is a reasonable explanation for the Alaskan Chinese Salmon thing. I live in Kodiak Alaska where we have many canneries that process salmon. The chinese and japanese come here all the time to purchase products to sell in china and obviously HERE!  
The thing that separates 1st world nations from 3rd world is this.... 1st world exports products... 3rd world exports resources.
Sadly Alaska and the rest of America is getting into the habit of exporting Resources!!

The only reason WWB isn't made in China is because the ATF won't allow Chinese-made ammo to be imported anymore.

Fishing reports through your RED neck of the woods :)

They're not allowed....Those fish are caught by American boats....and sold to the Chinese.

Don't be a pussy. Stay inshore and catch some reds. Teach your yankee ass how to throw a cast net and catch some shrimp. Damn yankee immigrants.

Being  yankee puss you may want to start with a 6ft cast net then work your way up to a 12 ft cast net like real men throw....
