Copper River Salmon

Annually, May marks the beginning of the Copper River Salmon season. The fishing season continues through September and is very much anticipated around the world for its renowned wild King, Sockeye, and Coho salmon. These fantastic fish are the crown jewel of the salmon world. In preparation for their herculean task of swimming up the 300 mile Copper River these salmon pack on rich energy reserves – evident in the copious supply of healthy and delicious omega-3 fatty acids stored in their bodies.

We're proud to bring this delicious fish to you in our First of the Season shipments - so it is the freshest it can be for your favorite dishes.
