Cuisine & Edibility

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.

Nile Tilapia

Mild, slightly sweet white flesh with low fat and a firm texture; absorbs marinades and spices well. One of the world's most farmed fish; excellent grilled, fried, or baked.

Species Overview

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.

Nile Tilapia

The Nile tilapia is the most widely farmed fish species in the world, cultivated in over 120 countries. Originally from Africa, it is a hardy, fast-growing mouth-brooder that thrives in a wide range of environmental conditions.
