Each May Pacific Northwest restaurants and markets herald the news - "Copper River salmon is here!" and one of the questions we are frequently asked is "What makes Copper River salmon so special?" Well one taste of this firm red fish will give you the answer why seafood lovers relish the three to four weeks that fresh Copper River salmon is available.
The Copper River is 300 miles in length and salmon that originate in these pristine waters are challenged by the length of the river and its powerful rapids. Consequently these salmon are strong, robust creatures with a healthy store of natural oils and body fat which they need to make that long journey up river. These qualities make the salmon among the richest, tastiest fish in the world. Copper River salmon is abundant with Omega-3 oils, which are recommended by the American Heart Association.
