Norwegian Salmon

An organisation in Norway, Norges Sjömatsråd (Norway's Seafood Council), has recommended that salmon from Norway, when sold in Sweden, should not be sold under the Swedish name of the fish, but the Norwegian name. Swedish authorities believes this not to be an issue. The law already says that you have to state the origin of the sold food on the package, so whether "salmon" is written in Swedish or Norwegian is really of no consequence. I agree, whether it is from Norway or any other country, it is still salmon and still good, tasty food. It remains to be seen if Swedish food chains adopt this recommendation, but I would not count on it. It just seems unnecessary.
