It seems like this is an opinion rather than a claim of fact.

Answer 1

The source you provided is reputable, and a closer look reveals that the author, Kyle Lee, is a professional in his field. A year before writing this article, Lee earned a spot on Forbes' 30 under 30 list for 'Food & Drink.' As you mentioned in your original claim, the flavors of salmon differ strongly based on several factors, including the species, preparation, texture, and nutritional profile. This blog is an informative source for those unfamiliar with the different tastes of salmon. Still, the author does not claim that one is definitively better than the rest.

While it may be true that some people prefer saltwater salmon over freshwater salmon, these preferences do not translate into an indisputable fact. Tastes are difficult to classify as good or bad because individual preferences may vary.

I agree with this factcheck, there is really no way to have a decisive answer because it's entirely opinion based.

I agree with your factcheck. I appreciated that you expanded on how species, preparation, texture, and nutritional profiles impact how salmon tastes in addition to saying that this claim is neither true nor false since it is an entirely subjective opinion.
