Description
Sockeye Salmon is smaller than its King counterpart but packs a flavor punch with higher pigment levels and firmer meat. Its taste leans savory with a rich, oceanic depth that shines in simple preparations.
Cold-smoked Sockeye is a brunch staple in bagels and canapés, while grilled fillets complement earthy side dishes like lentils or roasted root vegetables.
What sets it apart is its density — Sockeye doesn’t flake like typical salmon; instead, it offers a satisfying bite that holds up in bold dishes.
Nutritionally, it’s a powerhouse: high in omega-3s, protein, and antioxidants like astaxanthin.
Wild Sockeye is seasonal and often frozen-at-sea within hours of catch, preserving its peak flavor for months.
