Origin: Copper River, Alaska

Fish Facts: According to many seafood connoisseurs, Alaska's Copper River sockeye are the finest sockeye salmon in the world. These excellent wild fish have a rich, robust flavour, deep ruby-red color, and are packed full of natural, heart-smart Omega-3s. What makes this salmon so special is that, due to the relatively steep journey these salmon must forge up the Copper River, they must pack on considerably more fat than the Coho or the Sockeye. As a result, the River Salmon is much bigger in size and more savory in taste. Copper River sockeye salmon are renowned for their high fat content, resulting in a rich, buttery flavor, and are a popular seafood choice. They are caught in the waters where the Copper River meets the Gulf of Alaska, not the river itself, and are harvested from mid-May to mid-July. 

Taste/Cooking: Copper River sockeye salmon is known for its rich, buttery, and intensely flavorful taste. Its flavour is described as bold and distinct. Sockeye salmon is known for its firm texture, which holds up well when cooked and provides a satisfying bite.
