Sockeye salmon is smaller than most other salmon, weighing in at about five pounds to a maximum of 15 pounds, with thinner, more compact flesh. Most wild-caught sockeye sold in the U. Commercial catches of sockeye also come from Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Like all salmon, sockeye salmon hatches in freshwater streams. Unique among salmon, sockeye prefers watersheds with lakes and spends up to three years living in lakes before heading downstream to the ocean.
Some sockeye populations stay in freshwater lakes for their whole life cycle. These fish are known as kokanee salmon or "silver trout," and are much smaller than other sockeyes. Sockeye salmon spends the saltwater portion of its life in the North Pacific, where it can be found along the coast in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska, and in northern Japan.
When it reaches maturity and is ready to spawn, it heads back toward its home stream and swims upriver to breed. Like other salmon, sockeye fattens up for this trip, since it won't eat once it reaches fresh water. Indigenous peoples would often harvest salmon as it headed upriver, and many tribes still do. Whereas the commercial catch is fished out at sea to get the salmon before it reaches the river and is still at its fattest and tastiest.
Sockeye salmon has firm, compact flesh, which makes it stand up very well to grilling. Grill sockeye salmon fillets skin-side down without turning them. Cooking sockeye salmon on a cedar plank is a traditional method that helps prevent the fish from overcooking or sticking to the grates.
Other options for cooking salmon include baking, cooking in parchment or foil , and slow roasting in the oven. Frying salmon is another option that will give it a crispy skin. Sockeye salmon is rich in texture and high in flavor. In fact, for people who like the flavor of salmon, sockeye tastes the most like salmon.
The sockeye salmon eats more plankton and crustaceans like shrimp than other salmon species, which contributes to its darker color and rich flavor. Sockeye salmon is the second fattiest salmon after Chinook and has the added benefit of having the firmest texture of all Pacific salmon.
Many of the fishermen in Cordova, Alaska, where Copper River salmon are fished, will swear they prefer the more intense flavor of sockeye over the richness of Chinook, also known as king salmon. Atlantic salmon is the large pale orange farmed fish you see year-round just about everywhere fish is sold.
It is oily, with thick flaky flesh and a mild flavor. Sockeye salmon, on the other hand, is much smaller, so the fillet is always thinner and more compact, with an intense reddish color and rich flavor. While the larger Atlantic salmon is sold both diametrically cut as a steak and slices from the fillet, the smaller sockeye is usually sold only as a fillet.

Our fish are harvested in their natural environment. They spend their life in the open waters and eat their natural diet. You can read more about why "Wild-Caught" is healthier for both you and the fish in our blog. Our sockeye salmon are caught using a stationary gillnet, meaning we set our nets with small buoys to float at the top of the water and then the anchor holds one end of the bottom of the net taut, so the net is against the open current.
The salmon then swim into the net and are caught by the gills, once caught the nets are pulled on board. As each salmon comes on board it is removed from the net by our deckhands placed on a rubber slide so they do not hit the floor of the boat and become bruised.
This slide then moves them to another deckhand who bleeds each individual salmon and then places it into a refrigerated circulating seawater storage tank below. All salmon are then processed within 12 hours of being caught by our trusted processor Leader Creek Fisheries.
Processing includes flash freezing and vacuum sealing. All orders ship on Mondays-Wednesday, and orders placed after 10am on Tuesday will ship out the following week. All frozen products are carefully packed on dry ice to keep items frozen however some packages may not arrive solidly frozen.
