Cuisine & Edibility
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.
Spotted Seatrout
Soft, delicate white flesh with a mild, sweet flavor; low fat and best eaten fresh. A Gulf Coast favorite — excellent pan-fried, baked with Cajun spices, or used in fish tacos.
Species Overview
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.
Spotted Seatrout
The spotted seatrout, despite its name, is a member of the drum family, not the trout family. It inhabits grass flats and estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Males produce a distinctive drumming sound to attract females.
