All I know is that what I have been buying is vastly superior in taste than any other smoked salmon I have ever had before. I have had Alaskan salmon that was wild caught before and it was good, but I have never had any smoked.

Before someone from other continents comment, I'm sure you meant the West Coast in relation to North America.

I mentioned Alaska in a pervious post, so I hope people make the connection, but you never know.

This excerpt is from Food Safety: Seafood links with traceability and transparency
"The Norwegian seafood industry, many of whose products wind up in US grocery stores, enjoy the support of strong systems that secure tight control quality and safety, Øen said. The Norwegian system for catch information, the internal control systems and HACCP plans for the various production plants all provide details on the fish, its journey and the sustainability efforts that were in place to raise and catch the fish.
“Together, with the overall food safety system and Norway’s harmonization with the EU through the EEA Agreement, this provides for excellent traceability through the value chain of Norwegian seafood,” Øen said."

In Venezuela, I get Chilean salmon.
While I was in Cinci, we had some wild, Scottish salmon. A million miles better than the Chilean stuff.

Apparently in Norway, Scotland, and a few other places they catch it from the rivers, not the oceans.
Yes, the same is true in Alaska. (See post above).

I have had Copper River salmon and other wild Alaskan salmon fresh. I have never seen it in the stores smoked, however. I do not have a smoker so I can't do that myself or I would.

That's nice, I guess you need my address so you can get it from him, smoke it for me, and then FedEx it to me on dry ice?I have a friend living in Alaska.

Ah, so you have a "lady" friend who live in Alaska? Man but the "fishing" must be really good for her up there!
We were high school classmates. We had a very brief relationship after my divorce. Let's say we are better of as friends -- a long distance apart.
