Lean Protein – Reefnet Caught, Flash-Frozen for Freshness

Wild pink salmon is one of the most sustainable and underappreciated seafoods available. With its delicate flavor, flaky texture, and impressive nutritional profile, it offers a lighter take on wild salmon that’s perfect for everyday meals.

Our Fraser River pinks are caught using reefnet gear — a low-impact, traditional method that protects the ecosystem and preserves fish quality from the moment of harvest. Flash-frozen and portioned into convenient, boneless fillets, this is pink salmon at its best: clean, versatile, and ready for anything from salmon burgers to quick weeknight dinners.

What Makes Our Wild Pink Salmon Different?

• Delicate Texture, Clean Flavor – Think of it as the best trout you’ve ever had — mild and flakey, and deeply satisfying
• Nutritionally Powerful – Naturally lean, high in protein, and a source of heart-healthy omega-3s
• Frozen at Peak Freshness – Portions are vacuum-sealed, boneless, and skin-on for flexibility in the kitchen
• Short Lifecycle, Light Footprint – Pinks live only two years and feed on small marine organisms like zooplankton, making them an ultra-sustainable choice.

What is Reefnet Fishing?

An Indigenous-developed, low-impact method that uses suspended nets to gently harvest salmon with virtually no bycatch. It’s one of the most selective and sustainable fishing techniques in the world — and the reason our pink salmon has such exceptional texture and flavor.
