Cuisine & Edibility

Japanese Fugu

Delicate, subtly flavored white flesh with a unique gelatinous texture; poisonous organs contain lethal tetrodotoxin. A Japanese luxury delicacy — preparation requires licensed chefs only.

Sockeye Salmon

Intense, deep-red flesh with a full, robust salmon flavor and high omega-3 content. Excellent grilled, smoked, or canned; its bold flavor stands up to strong seasonings and wood smoke.

Species Overview

Japanese Fugu

The Japanese pufferfish, or fugu, contains tetrodotoxin, a poison 1,200 times more deadly than cyanide. Despite this, it is a prized delicacy in Japan, where specially licensed chefs prepare it as sashimi, hot pot, and grilled dishes.

Sockeye Salmon

The sockeye salmon is famous for turning bright red during its upstream spawning migration. Its deep-red flesh is the richest in omega-3 fatty acids of all Pacific salmon species, making it the most valuable commercially.
