Nicknamed the Rolls-Royce of salmon, the Copper River Salmon has been hauled in from Alaska and starting today, will be on the menu at the Grand Central Oyster Bar. The fatty, brilliant red-colored salmon will be available through the rest of the month, if not longer. The eight-ounce filets are selling for $39.95 (for the Copper River King) and $30.95 (for the Copper River Sockeye), but dependent upon market prices.
A little backstory on the fish: they build up incredible reserves of fat and nutrients to carry them upstream, hence such full flavor and a fan club.

It's really too bad the GCOB's kitchen murders everything it gets it's hands on. Whenever I get anything there from the kitchen (so basically anything other than oysters and smoked trout) I am utterly disappointed. I wonder if they'd just sell me the fish raw...

Erin,
Where did you find this out? I am not able to find any info regarding the salmon on their site. Do you have a link you could provide?

@ironcheff: They emailed us actually, but if you call the restaurant, they should be able to provide you with any additional info.
