Product Details

The Wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon: Well traveled, sockeye salmon spend their time in salt water swimming and feeding in the Alaska Gyre in the Gulf of Alaska before returning to their natal streams to spawn. Choosy eaters, the sockeye eats more crustaceans and plankton than other species, which leads to its darker colored meat. To better serve their dietary habits, sockeye filter zooplankton and small crustaceans from the water using their thin filamentous gills. As a wild-capture fishery, Alaska sockeye salmon are harvested from the open ocean. The fish are then transported to processing facilities located in small fishing communities scattered along Alaska's coastline.
