We use hook caught (by trolling) ocean-run wild king salmon captured off Alaska. The Alaskan fishery is thought to be one of the most sustainable wild fisheries in the world.
Wild salmon swim freely and feed in their natural habitat. They tend to be richer in Omega-3 oils than Atlantic salmon. At Stonington Sea Products we work very hard to preserve the natural flavor characteristics of this specialty fish.
We never add sugar or sweeteners… our roasted king salmon is lightly smoked with natural cherry and hickory smoke in our Scottish Kiln.
Atlantic Salmon
Many of these runs are now reduced or extinct. However Atlantic salmon can still be found in the rivers of Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Iceland Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, France, Spain, Canada and the United States.
Chinook Salmon
Lightly spotted on their blue-green back, chinook salmon live from five to seven years, and weigh up to 120 lb. Also known as springs or kings, they are the most prized game salmon for sport fishers.
Sockeye Salmon
A blue-tinged silver in colour, sockeye salmon live four to five years, weigh up to 7 lb., and are the slimmest and most streamlined of the five species of Pacific salmon. It is the most sought-after salmon species due to its rich flavour and firm, deep red flesh.
Coho Salmon
Bright silver in colour, coho salmon live three years, weigh up to 15 lb. (6.8 kg), and are a popular game fish for sport fishers. Coho’s versatile full flavour is coupled with fine-textured, consistently red flesh.
Cherry Salmon
One of the most beautiful representatives of Pacific salmon, particularly in wedding attire. Externally, the cherry salmon resembles the Pink Salmon, but differs from other salmon species by presence on its body sides of transversal stripes. In English this species is also called “cherry salmon”.
