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.

Yellowfin Tuna

Lean, dense flesh with a clean, meaty flavor; prized for sashimi and poke. Excellent seared rare, grilled as steaks, or served raw; one of the most commercially valued tunas.

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.

Yellowfin Tuna

The yellowfin tuna is a pelagic predator found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. Capable of speeds exceeding 75 km/h, it is prized both as a sport fish and for its high-quality sashimi-grade flesh.
