Copper River Sockeye Salmon, also known as red salmon, are one of the most prized of the Pacific salmon species. They have a vibrant, deep red flesh that retains its color even after cooking. Their appearance includes a shimmering, silver body with a slightly bluish-green back and no distinct spots on the tail. Sockeye are celebrated for their firm texture and bold, robust flavor. While leaner than King salmon, their flesh is still rich and moist, offering a clean, crisp taste that highlights the pure waters of the Copper River.
