if you're within an hour drive of the coast, that's a coastal city in the modern world.

You can easily get fresh seafood delivered daily for a fair price.

Unlike somewhere like kentucky where you're 5+ hours from the coast. Getting fresh same day caught seafood for these areas would be VERY expensive, either direct courier, or air transportation, both of which would be expensive as fuck for any normal restaurant.

Friends and I while chilling with my grandparents on the beach off the Atlantic near miami would raid the next door hotel and put the beach chairs and stuff into their swimming pool. It was hilarious looking at that the next morning from the balcony looking over the place.

Salmon is my favorite food and I've fantasized about the idea of living next to some river where large wild salmon are plentiful, where I could just fish for a salmon whenever I'm hungry and enjoy it

Where would I have to live for that to be a reality? Alaska? Even if I lived in Alaska with a cabin in the woods next to a river with salmon, do you think my DREAM would get ruined by the Big Fish Industry and fishermen on vacation who would likely be taking all of MY salmon for themselves?

Salmon live in the ocean bro. They only come into rivers during a very brief period of time to spawn. And during that very brief period of time you'll be battling bears, tourists, and professional fishermen for access to your salmon.

we tried that but farther north, Hillsborough mile in Broward has some of the most expensive property in the country and their own private police force that takes their job a little too serious. All we did was move an umbrella but since it was technically moved off their property and the umbrella was bought in a set with all the other furniture they charged us with grand theft ...and the charges stuck, felony umbrella movement. We were lucky and the judge gave us the option to get it expunged from our record after fines and community service

It's difficult to put the answer to that into English except to say that it tastes better. It tastes just right, but one has to try various smoked salmon and lox and different ones to know it. I guess if I think about it and tried various ones in a short period of time I could do a compare and contrast and describe the deltas in English.

My suggestion is that you try them all for yourself in a short span of time and judge the differences. I've had all of those over a 30 year span of time and their all good but remembering every little difference over that timespan isn't that easy.

As far as my personal favorite for seafood, anywhere with good Cajun food. New Orleans for instance. But you can’t beat some blackened whitefish from Destin FL. Not on the coast though... that’s difficult. Only place I’ve lived that wasn’t on the coast was Austin TX and the seafood there was... ok. Not great.
