Is Copper River salmon really the best?

Have you ever wondered what sets Copper River salmon apart from the rest?

With its reputation as the finest salmon on the planet, some may question whether it's merely media hype. But let me assure you, there's no exaggeration here.

Copper River salmon truly stand out, and here's why:

First Salmon of the Season: Just as with fruits and vegetables, wild fish follow a seasonal cycle. Copper River salmon, as the first commercially fished wild salmon of the spring season, hold a special place in the culinary world. Their arrival marks the beginning of the salmon season, and the fish from the inaugural Copper River opener are revered as the most sought-after salmon worldwide.

Omega-3 Richness: Not all salmon are created equal, and the Copper River's challenging environment plays a significant role in shaping the exceptional quality of its salmon. This mighty river, coursing through the Alaskan wilderness, demands a strenuous upstream journey from its salmon inhabitants. To endure this arduous trek, Copper River salmon accumulate high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, resulting in a distinctively rich, moist, and flavorful flesh. Beyond its culinary allure, this abundance of Omega-3 offers remarkable health benefits.

Exceptional Handling: In the Copper River fishery, a culture of reverence for the fish prevails. Fishermen recognize the exceptional nature of their catch and handle each salmon with the utmost care and respect. Unlike the rushed pace of some fisheries, the Copper River fishery operates at a deliberate, unhurried tempo. This allows for meticulous handling and prompt cooling of the salmon, preserving their pristine quality. Guided by a commitment to quality over quantity, our fishermen prioritize the quality of each individual fish.

I have eaten a lot of fish in my lifetime, and I'm confident you will taste the difference. If you know, you know. If you don't know, you should definitely try it!
