While each species is unique, they all share a common characteristic: Alaska's kodiak Salmon fishery is well managed, plentiful and a delicious part of a healthy diet.

KING SALMON

The flesh of these fish is an intense, deep red color. Sockeye are growing in favor as a fresh and frozen choice. Sockeye has a rich flavor that many believe rivals that of King Salmon.

COHO SALMON

KETA (CHUM) SALMON
Characterized by their firm, pink flesh with a lower fat content than other wild salmon. The taste is mild, a quality preferred by many consumers.

PINK SALMON
The most abundant salmon species have a mild, delicate flavor. Pink salmon are an excellent source of low calorie, high-protein seafood.

Alaska salmon is one of the most tightly regulated fisheries in the world. Unlike some other salmon populations, no salmon of Alaska origin are listed as threatened or endangered. More than enough salmon are allowed to return each year to spawn, insuring enough fish for generations to come.
