A food bank netted a huge haul of 13,000 fresh salmon. The catch? The fish were still alive
New York food bank was offered a huge donation of fresh fish — but with a catch. LocalCoho, a soon-to-close salmon farm in the small upstate city of Auburn, wanted to give 40,000 pounds of coho salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York, a motherlode of high-quality protein that could feed thousands of families. But the fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s giant indoor tanks.
