Description
We harvest these Fraser River Sockeye Salmon long before they enter the river, so they still have all their stored energy in the form of omega-3 rich fat – Which is great for your hair and skin and keeps our salmon full of flavor. The high amount of Omega 3 gives our fish the texture, flavor and the health benefit that few other salmon can offer. These fish are very easy on the grill or in the oven, their high, healthy oil content make them difficult to overcook and dry out. Grill, Bake, or Poach – these standalone wild Sockeye need nothing more than a generous dash of sea salt to steal the show!
Reefnet sockeye portions have a chart topping omega-3 fat content. Almost double that of your average Sockeye. Superior fat content makes for great flavor and mouthfeel and you will feel great eating healthy, wild sockeye from a truly sustainable source. You will never go back to eating ordinary salmon after you try our reefnet sockeye.
WHAT SETS REEFNET SALMON APART?
Flavor in salmon is directly related to how much fat it has. When a salmon leaves the ocean to return to its natal stream, it stops eating and must rely on stored fat for the remainder of its life as it makes its journey home. The further the salmon must travel to spawn, and the mightier its river of origin, the more fat it will have genetically developed and stored so it can make its most important life sustaining journey home.
Reefnetting is considered one of the ten most sustainable fisheries in the world. Click here to learn more about how these incredible, wild caught salmon.

Because I’m Histamine Intolerant, I can only eat fish that is wild caught and then processed and frozen immediately – right on the fishing boat. (That prohibits the fish from developing higher histamine levels.) This salmon meets that requirement, and it’s frozen in 6 oz. packs, so it’s easy to either split one piece or indulge in the whole thing yourself! I love the skin too when it’s fried until it’s crispy. There’s no “fishy” taste or smell because it’s frozen totally fresh. It’s simply DELICIOUS SALMON!! And SO good nutritionally too. And the service couldn’t be better. Thank YOU, Lummi Island Wild!

We are addicted to this food purveyor for the fine quality of seafood. Sockeye Salmon and scallops are second to none. Food always comes rock solid frozen.

I received my first order of sockeye salmon from this company early last week. I also received my first order of salmon from another seafood company (on the Northwest coast) on the same day. Side by side there was NO comparison. I took a pic of the two packages and sent it to the OTHER company stating “Look at the difference!” Lummi looked like a bar of gold compared to what I received from the other place. (they sent me a partial replacement, that’s how bad theirs looked in comparison.)
So far, I have baked two fillets and the taste is phenomenal!! Thank you, fishermen at Lummii! You have a new and devoted customer :).

This order is like all my past orders of salmon!! Perfect. I have a hard time if someone serves salmon when I eat away from home because their salmon came from elsewhere. I want to complement you on your packaging – EXCELLENT. Before, I was a member of a group order. Now I can order on my scedule.

Really fantastic salmon. I don’t usually like sockeye but this is an exception. I’m told it’s because of the very high fat content in this year’s catch.
I usually am a snob for Alaska salmon but in the future I will be ordering from this company. Thanks, Sierra!

I’m so impressed with the quality of this salmon. It doesn’t smell or tasty fishy at all. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had salmon this good! It’s pricey but so worth it to know the fish are being sustainably harvested. I’m happy to pay a higher price if it means a company is doing things the right way. Keep up the great work!
