Description
5 pounds of frozen skin on freshwater king (Chinook) salmon.
This particular salmon is unique in that it is wild caught in freshwater. More specifically in the Great Lakes (Mackinac Island region). Most salmon migrate from rivers to the ocean and back, but Great Lakes salmon only live in freshwater their whole lives.
This makes the texture of the flesh softer and the taste is more mild than saltwater king salmon which is the most sought after salmon. Mostly because they eat small fish called alewives rathe than shrimp in the ocean. While these were planted about 50 years ago they are now self-sustaining in the Great Lakes and of course all wild caught and sustainable.
Package
A box of individually vacuum packed fillet portions.
How it tastes
It is milder than wild caught Pacific salmon in some ways closer to farmed Atlantic salmon that you would normally buy at a grocery store.
Ways to cook
Grill or pan-sear Freshwater King Salmon with simple seasoning (salt, pepper, lemon) to highlight its rich, buttery flavor and tender texture.
