Wild-Caught Salmon Delivery

As far as we’re concerned, wild salmon is the only salmon worth eating. Wild salmon is the best-possible salmon a person can purchase in terms of taste, texture, and sustainability. Seafood lovers say they can never go back to eating farmed salmon after eating a wild fish, and we don’t blame them – the experience is totally different in the best way possible.

Our wild salmon is frozen just minutes after being caught, which helps preserve the fish’s flavor and texture. The fish is then processed and shipped while frozen. We like to think this freezing keeps a bit of the “wild” in the fish when it reaches your door.

If you’ve never tried a wild-caught fish, we recommend our wild salmon delivery. You’ll get to learn a bit about your fish, where it came from, and how it was caught, ensuring a great experience and high-quality meal.

Wild vs. Farmed Salmon 

Those new to wild salmon delivery may not be familiar with how salmon taste works. Salmon flavor is directly related to the fish’s fat content. The more oil the fish has, the more flavorful it will be. This is part of the reason why king and sockeye salmon are so highly prized – their superior fat content creates a strong, complex flavor and a silky texture – and why silver coho salmon and keta salmon are often on the lower end of the price spectrum.

While type of salmon is important to its fat content, part of the equation comes from where the fish was caught. When salmon leaves the ocean to travel upstream, it must rely on stored fat. The farther a salmon travels, the more fat it has genetically developed. If a salmon population has no reason to travel upstream to spawn – in other words, if several generations have been harvested in a salmon farm – the genetic fat production deteriorates, resulting in a leaner fish, no matter how much you try to bulk it up. By contrast, wild salmon will always have a naturally high fat content, which adds flavor and creates a velvety texture. If you’ve never ordered wild salmon delivery to your home, you’re in for a modern treat.
