Visual difference between Sockeye, Silver, King and Ivory salmon

Many times we are asked what the difference between the four types of salmon we offer are. Aside from the texture and taste, we decided to do an immediate lineup of a fillet of each type, to help clarify.

Pictured here in order from top to bottom are:

Silver Salmon
King Salmon
Sockeye Salmon
Ivory Salmon

Salmon Lineup

Different fillets vary slightly and since these are also still somewhat frozen, the colors are a little more dull, but Silver and Sockeye tend to have more redness (Sockeye being the most red) while King salmon tends to be more pink. Ivory is obviously white, as it is commonly referred to.

Copper River Sockeye and King salmon are here!

Filed under: News — Tags: Alaskan Salmon, Copper River, King Salmon, Sockeye Salmon —

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.
