Our wild caught Sockeye salmon is sourced from British Columbia and is available in frozen form with fillets ranging from 1.5 - 2.5 lbs.
Wild Sockeye Salmon is found in the Northern Pacific Ocean and associated rivers. It weighs around 5 - 15 pounds and measures around 2 - 3 feet. It typically lives 4 - 5 years and is one of the smaller varieties of Pacific salmon.
Sea-going sockeye salmon have iridescent silver flanks, a white belly, and a metallic green-blue top, giving them their "blueback" name. As sockeye salmon return to their freshwater spawning grounds, their heads turn green and their bodies turn bright red, hence their other common name.
Sockeye is also known as red salmon because of its bright orange flesh. The orange colour is due to the orange carotenoid called astaxanthin.
Wild Sockeye Salmon is considered a superfood, rated as the most nutritional of all wild salmon! It is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids along with important vitamins and minerals - vitamin A, B and D3, calcium, selenium and potassium.
