Copper River Sockeye and King salmon are here!

Every year we get in shipments of Copper River salmon, and every year it flies off our docks faster than the last. This year is no different! With the rising costs of salmon due to the federal ban of fishing off of the west coast of the United States, and the projected increases to continue up to 200%, now is the time to purchase this extremely limited and high quality salmon.

The Copper river is famous worldwide for having some of the best salmon in the world, and because it’s 100% natural and fresh, restaurants and venders charge a premium for this fish.

Wild Salmon vs. Farmed Salmon

Filed under: News —

We’ve finally been able to snap a quick photograph of the difference between our Wild Salmon, and the typical farmed salmon that can be purchased at most grocery stores. Pictured here are three versions of the same species of fish. Keep in mind that this is King salmon, which has a natural pink color to it, yet the food coloring used to correct the farmed product makes it a deeper red color, similar to Sockeye. The health benefits of Wild Salmon are visually apparent in this picture, notice the blotches on the farmed fish, as well as the extremely pale center. It’s obvious that this farmed product hasn’t been able to develop to the extent that the Wild one has.
