Copper River Sockeye Salmon | FROZEN PRE-ORDER 2025

Copper River Sockeye Salmon is world-famous and one of our absolute favorite fish. You will be amazed when you see the spectacular bright red color! Because the Copper River is so swift, these fish must store extra fat and oils to survive the long trip. This high fat and oil content is why Copper River Salmon are recognized as some of the world's best-eating salmon.

This high-fat content delivers heart-healthy Omega 3’s and gives the Sockeye a rich, bold flavor. Sockeye also has a firm texture that lends itself well to all kinds of grilling, frying, and baking recipes. We like to keep our Sockeye recipes simple since Sockeye naturally has such an amazing bold flavor.
