The barrier for many people is the price they see at the market - at $30.00 per kilogram, it is easy to see it as a special occasion option. What's more important is the price per portion.
Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon is naturally very filling so you don't need much. The recommended serving size for an adult is 100 - 150 grams, and just 50 - 80 grams for children.
