Salmon of the very highest grade
Did you know that some five different types of salmon can be found in the ice-cold waters of Canada and Alaska? Sockeye salmon (also known as blue-back salmon) is perhaps the most stunning version. The fish is caught in June and July and is filleted and IVP frozen the same day, ensuring that the fish retains all its vitamins and minerals.
Good news! Currently we have ‘Fraser River‘ run available! This run occurs once every four years. As the salmon swim longer distances during this run, their meat becomes even more exceptional in quality and taste.
Our sockeye salmon fillets are perfect for smoking, baking and grilling!
