The Frozen Sam's Club Salmon That's Better Left In The Freezer Aisle - Tasting Table

"Sam's Club's Member's Mark brand has a reputation for high quality, and this product checks all the boxes for a great frozen seafood find. It's made with wild-caught salmon, pre-seasoned with herbs, spices, garlic, and onions, and cooks up in about 20 minutes. However, the end result wasn't worth the ease of preparation. Our taste tester thought the salmon was dry and tasted very one-dimensional for the amount of ingredients that go into the marinade."

"The filets were also full of tiny bones, which aren't an uncommon sight in any fish product, even ones labeled "boneless" - but the total amount was a bit much and dampened an already-mediocre eating experience. It may take more time and effort, but we recommend cooking up some Member's Mark Atlantic salmon fillets instead, as members always stock up on this Sam's Club frozen seafood due to its affordability and consistently great taste."

The Member's Mark Marinated Alaskan Salmon is wild-caught, pre-seasoned with herbs, spices, garlic, and onions, and cooks in about 20 minutes. The product aims for convenience but can deliver a dry, one-dimensional flavor despite the marinade. Fillets frequently contain many tiny bones, which reduces eating enjoyment and raises safety concerns. Member's Mark Atlantic salmon fillets provide a better combination of affordability and consistent taste for those willing to cook from plain fillets. Other ready-to-cook frozen options at the store may be preferable to the pre-flavored Alaskan salmon.
