Sockeye
Sockeye is renowned for its distinct rich and buttery flavor and unmistakable vibrant red color. This is due to the high fat content of the fish, which is a result of their diet of shrimp, krill, and other small crustaceans. The oil that is produced by the salmon's diet is what gives the fish its unique flavor and texture. Additionally, the cold, clean waters in which these fish are found also contribute to their superior taste. Sockeye is a great choice for meals that are both nutritious and aesthetically pleasing.

It is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and vitamin B12. The health benefits of eating coho salmon include improved heart health, reduced inflammation, and better eye health.
