What is Coho Salmon?
Coho Salmon, also known as Silver Salmon, is a species of Pacific salmon known for its vibrant silver skin and delicious, mildly flavored, pink flesh. It is wild-caught in the nutrient-rich waters of Alaska and is celebrated for its exceptional taste and nutritional benefits.
How does Coho Salmon taste?
Coho Salmon offers a unique taste that is milder than Sockeye but more flavorful than Pink Salmon. Its medium-fat content provides a tender, flaky texture with a rich flavor that is not overpowering, making it a versatile choice for a variety of recipes.
What are the nutritional benefits of Coho Salmon?
Coho Salmon is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, and essential vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Selenium, niacin, phosphorus, and Vitamin B6. It's an excellent choice for maintaining heart health, brain function, and overall well-being.
How are the fillets packaged?
Each Coho Salmon fillet portion is individually quick frozen (IQF) and vacuum packed. This process ensures that the fillet retains its freshness, flavor, and nutritional value from the moment it is caught until it is prepared in your kitchen.
Is the Coho Salmon wild caught?
Yes, our Coho Salmon is 100% wild caught in the pristine waters of Alaska. This not only guarantees a product of superior taste and quality but also supports sustainable fishing practices that help preserve the natural fish populations and their habitats.
Can I cook the fillet with the skin on?
Absolutely! Cooking Coho Salmon with the skin on helps to lock in moisture, resulting in a juicier fillet. The skin also becomes crispy when cooked, providing a delightful texture contrast to the tender flesh.
Are the fillets boneless?
Our Coho Salmon fillet portions come with the pin bone in. This minimal processing ensures the natural quality and integrity of the fillet. The pin bones can easily be removed after cooking or by your fishmonger prior to preparation.
How should I thaw the Coho Salmon fillets?
For the best results, thaw your Coho Salmon fillets in the refrigerator overnight. If you're short on time, you can also submerge the vacuum-sealed fillet in cold water for a quicker thaw.
What is the minimum order for Coho Salmon fillets?
The minimum order for our Coho Salmon Fillet Portions is typically 5 pounds, providing an excellent balance of value and convenience for our customers.
