Kings (chinook) mark the beginning of fresh salmon season around mid April or May. These fish boast exquisite flavor and high oil reserves due to their tumultuous journey up the steep river making them an excellent choice for grilling, steaming, broiling, sautéing, baking, poaching and smoking.
Sockeye (reds), harvested from around mid-May to end of July, are appreciated for their distinctly deep-red flesh that maintains the color throughout the cooking process. It’s a favorite of chefs looking for dramatic impact to their presentation as well as rich flavor.
We offer sockeye from throughout Alaska — from the Central Gulf of Alaska, including Prince William Sound and Kodiak, to False Pass and King Cove in the West. These fish offer superior flavor without the high price of Copper River runs.
Coho (silver) salmon is available from mid-July to end of October. Its orange-red flesh with bright skin, excellent color retention, delicate flavor with medium fat content make this species a popular consumer option.
Keta (chum), available from mid-June through mid-November, provide delicate flavor and firm texture that’s especially popular for smoking. Prince William Sound keta offers perfect value for retail promotions in June, while Arctic keta is flown in daily from Kotzebue just in time to fill the salmon lull around mid-August.
