  • High in Omega-3 oils which have been shown to lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease as well as lowering triglycerides.
  • Naturally abundant in many essential nutrients and vitamins including Vitamins A, C, D and E, niacin, and Vitamin B-12.
  • An excellent source of protein.
  • Low in saturated fats and low in calories.

Wild Alaska Salmon VS Farm Raised

Wild caught salmon: All natural and sustainably caught and is verified as such by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI). Our wild salmon is harvested straight from the icy waters of Bristol Bay in Alaska and processed by us within 24 hours after the catch. That means any Wild Alaskan Salmon you purchase from us will taste just as fresh as the day it was caught! That is a guarantee straight from Captain Tony.

Farm-raised salmon: Salmon are kept in pens, fed grain and unable to swim. This produces fish high in unhealthy fats. They are fed antibiotics to reduce disease and are dyed to look like fish living naturally in the wild.

ASMI is a public corporation of the State of Alaska which is the state's official seafood marketing arm. ASMI promotes Alaska Seafood throughout the U.S. and in 17 other countries.

Flavor difference between Wild Alaska Sockeye and Wild Alaska King

First of all, the flavor depends on the fat content and diet of the salmon which is different in both species, but it also has a lot to do with how the fish has been handled. You can have two of the very same species of fish caught in the same area that look, feel and taste completely different. That’s all due to the handling of the fish as soon as it’s caught or lack thereof. Captain Tony and his crew fish, process and blast freeze our salmon the same day they are caught. All of our salmon is 100% wild caught and we add absolutely nothing to the finished product.
