Description
Our Orca Safe, wild king salmon have a rich buttery fresh flavor, nice flake and nice finish. Clean tasting because every fish is individually handled, immediately slush iced, and custom processed. Working the waters with local independent fishers who respect both salmon and our environment, we ensure the highest quality wild king salmon available. There is a running debate among fish lovers about which is the best salmon – king or sockeye. You be the judge!
Also known as chinook, tyee, or blackmouth, this fish is prized for its high oil content, firm texture and rich flavor. The color of the flesh can range from deep red to white, or “ivory” -which is found in about 10% of kings. King salmon have consistently won blind taste tests among salmon aficionados. Kings are the largest of the species with their average weight in the Salish Sea being 15-20 lbs. Its high oil content makes it a prime candidate for grilling, broiling, sautéing, baking, poaching, steaming, and smoking.
These are larger fillets, averaging 1.51-2 lbs each. Enough for 5-7 servings.

Family reunion for Christmas in Idaho. We ordered 5 salmon filets to be shipped. Flawless experience and the salmon was a highlight of our weekend!
