Origin: B.C.

Fish Facts: Sockeye salmon are easily recognized by their bright red spawning color and green head, and are also known for their rich, pink flesh. 

They are anadromous, meaning they migrate to spawn in freshwater rivers.

Taste/Cooking: BC sockeye salmon has a rich, full-bodied, and bold flavor with a firm, dense texture. It is often described as having a strong, "salmon-forward" taste and a vibrant red-orange color that maintains its hue when cooked. To cook it, avoid overcooking this lean fish by using high-heat methods like grilling or pan-searing, which help keep it moist, and complement its robust flavor with simple, light accompaniments like lemon, herbs, or a mild salsa.
