Cuisine & Edibility

Cobia

Firm, moist white flesh with a mild, buttery flavor; moderate fat and large, clean flakes. Extremely versatile — excellent grilled, smoked, raw as sashimi, or used in ceviche.

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

Cobia

The cobia is a powerful pelagic fish that often follows large rays, sharks, and turtles. Its flattened head and elongated body resemble a shark. Excellent table fare with firm, white flesh, it is increasingly farmed in aquaculture.

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.
