King Salmon Caviar | Wild Chinook Salmon Roe (Ikura)
$ 245.00 USD
King Salmon Caviar is premium roe from wild King (Chinook) salmon, known for large orange pearls, a clean ocean flavor, and a distinctive pop. Because it comes from wild Chinook salmon, flavor, color, pearl size, and texture can vary naturally by harvest region, salmon run, maturity, season, and processing.
Current options may include different harvest years, grades, and package sizes. Always select the exact variant you want and review the current variant description before ordering.
Wild King Salmon Roe: Alaska, Washington & Canada
Based on our experience working with wild Chinook salmon roe from Alaska, Canada, and Washington State, regional lots can show different tendencies:
- Alaska: often somewhat sweeter and more delicate, with a softer membrane.
- Washington State: often firmer, with a stronger pop and a more pronounced savory flavor.
- Canada: can fall between the two, with balanced firmness and sweetness.
These are practical observations rather than fixed rules. Water conditions, fish maturity, harvest timing, the individual salmon run, and curing all influence the final product.
