Cuisine & Edibility

Bonefish

Edible but extremely bony flesh; rarely consumed as table fare in modern sport fishing. Almost exclusively caught-and-released; the species is prized for its fighting ability, not flavor.

Chinook Salmon

The largest Pacific salmon; exceptionally rich, fatty flesh with deep orange-red color and a full, buttery flavor. Superb grilled, smoked, or cured; the benchmark of Pacific salmon quality.

Species Overview

Bonefish

The bonefish is the premier shallow-water flats species, prized by fly fishers for its blistering initial run. Found in tropical shallows worldwide, it feeds by rooting in sand and marl for crustaceans and mollusks.

Chinook Salmon

The chinook salmon, also known as king salmon, is the largest of the Pacific salmon species. It undertakes epic migrations from the ocean to its natal river to spawn once before dying, providing nutrients to the entire watershed ecosystem.
