Many, many, many moons ago I was reading a book that had glossary of computer terminology. One of the points it made was that while the plural of the living rodent form of a mouse is mice, the plural of the computer mouse is technically mouses.
On one hand this makes sense to me. On the other hand it does nothing to change the fact that you sound like a giant bloody tool when you say "mouses". I think the exact same applies for "salmons". It is technically correct in this context, but also sounds idiotic.
