| Alaskan Wild Salmon The clear waters off Alaska’s 34,000-mile coastline are the world’s best supply for wild salmon. All Alaska Wild Salmon are born in the fresh, icy waters of the state’s pristine streams, rivers and lakes. They migrate to salt water, where they mature before returning to the waters of their birth to lay their eggs and continue the cycle. Alaska Wild Salmon are harvested during these seasonal “runs.” Alaska Wild Salmon demand high levels of oxygen which are found in cold, rushing streams and upper layers of the ocean. The fish run fresh from May to September, and are classified into five major species: Pink, Chum, Coho, Sockeye and King. Alaska Wild Salmon, with its bright red color and great taste, is perfect for all occasions. Known for its firmness and wonderful richness of flavor, Alaska Wild Salmon also offers amazing health benefits. It’s a great source of high quality protein and essential amino acids, including crucial Omega-3 oils. Those who appreciate fine food have always prized this remarkable catch. While the proliferation of salmon ‘farms’ in the 1990s created hard times for the ‘wild’ industry, this delicacy is once again in great demand by chefs and consumers seeking pure, natural foods with superb taste and nutrition. Modern air transport means salmon caught one day in Alaska can realistically be featured on menus around the world just a day or two later. This choice product is wild, organic, nutritious, and sustainable. Though you’ll enjoy it for the taste alone, savor these healthy points as well:
