Description

Back for the first time since 2022, this is more than just salmon, it’s a celebration of resilience. Stronger salmon runs mean we can once again share these exceptional Sockeye, wild-harvested in our solar-powered reefnet fishery – the most sustainable wild salmon fishery on Earth. Each fish is carefully hand hauled with almost no bycatch, ensuring unmatched quality and environmental stewardship.

Why They’re Extraordinary

First, the flavor: rich, bold, and buttery. Thanks to their omega-3 packed oil content, these Sockeye are tender, moist, and full of character. That same natural richness also makes them simple to prepare — the high oil content means it’s easy to cook them to perfection, whether on the grill, in the oven, or gently poached.

Here’s the “why”: Fraser River Sockeye are genetically built for one of the longest, toughest migrations in the salmon world. Before they enter the river, they’re at their absolute peak. Brimming with fat reserves that give them both their unforgettable taste and their nearly impossible-to-dry-out texture. In fact, our reefnet Sockeye portions carry almost double the omega-3 content of typical Sockeye.

Cooking Made Simple

This is restaurant-quality fish, made simple at home. Just a sprinkle of sea salt is all you need to let the salmon shine, but if you’d like to uplevel your meal, try:

• A drizzle of garlic butter and squeeze of fresh lemon.
• A touch of dill and cracked pepper alongside roasted vegetables.
• A light poach with white wine and herbs for an elegant finish.

Why Reefnet Matters

Flavor is only part of the story. Reefnetting is one of the world’s most sustainable fishing methods: selective, solar-powered, and modeled after traditional techniques used by Coast Salish tribes for centuries. By choosing reefnet-caught Sockeye, you’re supporting a fishery that protects salmon populations, respects the ecosystem, and delivers seafood of unmatched quality.

FAQs About Reefnet-caught Fraser River Sockeye Salmon

How many people does one fillet serve?

Each fillet averages 22 oz, which will serve about 5-6 adults as a main dish. If you’re using the salmon in grain bowls, pastas, or salads, one portion can stretch to serve two.

Do I need to remove the skin before cooking?

No — the skin is left on and crisps up beautifully when pan-seared or grilled. It also helps keep the salmon moist during cooking. You can remove it after cooking if preferred.

Is this salmon seasonal?

Yes. Reefnet-caught Fraser River sockeye is available during a limited harvest window each year, typically in late summer. We freeze the portions at peak freshness and offer them while supplies last.
