Subway began offering smoked wild Alaskan salmon in select Midwest markets on Ash Wednesday as a Lenten-friendly option. Salmon is pre-cooked through smoking, allowing it to be served cold and simplifying supply and handling. Pricing is competitive with other Subway offerings.
Subway has over 25,000 locations in 83 countries, making it the second largest fast food franchise worldwide. A voluntary survey found 34% of Subway franchisees are women, 24% are minorities, and nearly 80% employ minority staff. Subway supports various philanthropic causes related to health, childhood obesity, and community support.

Subway" and "offering Wild Alaska Salmon" in the same sentence? Yep. On Feb.
9—Ash Wednesday—Subway restaurants in eight upper Midwest markets began
serving Applewood smoked Wild Alaska Salmon. Customers can get it in a sub, in
a wrap sandwich or on a salad. Because the salmon has already been cooked
during the smoking process, it can be eaten cold, a factor that makes everything
from supply chain logistics to in-store handling procedures simple and safe.
Pricing is "competitive with other Subway offerings," a company spokesperson
tells us.
Some areas of the country are particularly Catholic. Rhode Island (63% of
the population are Catholic), Massachusetts (49%), Connecticut (42%), New
Jersey (41%), New York (40%), Louisiana (32%), Wisconsin (32%), Illinois
(32%), Pennsylvania (31%) and New Mexico (31%) are the top 10 U.S. states
with the highest proportion of Catholics. Right behind them are other high
population states such as California (24%), Texas (21%), Michigan
(25%), Ohio 20%) and Florida (12%).
