Our Reefnet Sockeye Salmon are celebrated for their rich, succulent flavor, tender texture, and high omega-3 content. Genetically built for one of the longest salmon migrations, these fish arrive at peak fat reserves, creating fillets that are exceptionally flavorful and remain moist and tender through any cooking method.
Harvested in our solar-powered, low-impact reefnet fishery, these Sockeye are carefully hand-hauled with virtually no bycatch, making this one of the world’s most selective wild salmon fisheries. Each portion is flash-frozen and vacuum-packed to preserve freshness, flavor, and natural oils.
By choosing Reefnet Sockeye, you’re supporting an innovative, eco-friendly fishery rooted in traditional Coast Salish techniques. Simple to prepare at home, these restaurant-quality fillets shine with just a sprinkle of salt making every meal effortless and extraordinary.

Sashimi Grade
Our salmon and tuna are handled with the same care and standards used for sashimi-grade seafood, flash-frozen at peak freshness, fully traceable, and harvested with methods that protect quality from the very first step. While all of our seafood meets sashimi-grade requirements, we’re selective: we’ve curated a collection of our most premium, melt-in-your-mouth cuts for the ultimate sushi night at home.
Center Cuts & Using the whole fish
Using the whole fish - not just center cuts - is a key part of sustainable seafood because it maximizes every nutrient-rich portion, reduces waste and honors the animal we harvest. Parts like shoulders, belly, and tails have unique flavors and textures and can be used in soups, sauces, fillets, and other dishes. By valuing every cut, we reduce environmental impact and make more food from each salmon we bring home.
Center and loin cuts are perfect for grilling, pan-searing, roasting, or sashimi - rich, balanced, and versatile.
Belly is the fattiest, buttery section ideal for sashimi, grilling, smoking, or crisp searing.
Tail pieces are leaner with a firm texture. Great for quick sautés, stir-fries, soups, salmon-cakes, or stews.
Collar and shoulder cuts are rich and fatty, excellent grilled or broiled for succulent bites.
Heads and bones make flavorful stocks or soups, adding depth and minimizing waste. We partner with Yodelin Broth Co. to create the best seafood bone broths available and “Honor the Whole Fish”. Try It Here.
Traceability
Where did this fish come from?
Every item we sell is fully traceable, you can see where it swam, who caught it, and how it made its way to you. We work directly with reefnet crews, tribal fisheries, and independent fishermen who prioritize quality and integrity over volume.

Storage & Handling
Your seafood arrives flash-frozen at peak freshness. Keep it frozen until you’re ready to cook.
For best results, remove the fish from its vacuum-sealed packaging before thawing, then place it in a covered container to thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 6–12 hours.
Once thawed, cook within 24–36 hours.
Cooking Tips
Wild seafood cooks differently than farmed, it’s leaner, more delicate, and packed with natural flavor. Here’s how to get perfect results every time:
- Don’t overcook. Remove it from heat when it flakes easily or reaches 125–130°F internal temp for salmon and whitefish. It continues cooking off-heat.
- Start hot, finish low. A quick sear in a hot pan (or on a hot grill), then a gentle finish creates the best texture.
- Keep it simple. Salt, pepper, olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon bring out the fish’s natural flavor, wild seafood doesn’t need much.
- From frozen? No problem. Most cuts can go straight from freezer to oven at 400°F for 12–18 minutes. Perfect for fast weeknight meals.
- Keep It Salty. Salmon welcomes bold seasoning. Salt enhances its natural oils and bright, ocean-clean flavor. If your diet allows, add one last pinch before cooking, it’s a simple secret to an extraordinary fillet.
