Additional Product Info

Packaging:

Our wild Columbia River King salmon fillets are flash-frozen and individually vacuum-sealed in approximately 1/2 lb. packages. They are boneless for your cooking & dining convenience.

Storing & Thawing:

Frozen king salmon fillets can be stored in your freezer for several months. Thaw the salmon fillets in the refrigerator about 12 hours before preparation. You can also run the vacuum-sealed packages under cold water to speed up thawing considerably.

Serving Suggestions:

An average serving size of king salmon is about half a pound; however, because it's so rich, you may want a smaller portion.

Health Benefits:

Wild Columbia River king salmon is an exceptional nutritional powerhouse, packing roughly 3,300 mg of heart- and brain-supporting EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids into a typical 6 oz raw serving—nearly triple the omega-3 content of wild sockeye salmon. Alongside those essential healthy fats, each portion delivers clean, bioavailable protein (~20–24g per 100g), immune-boosting vitamin D and selenium, and natural astaxanthin—the potent antioxidant sourced from its wild ocean diet of krill and shrimp that gives the flesh its vibrant coral-red color—all completely free of antibiotics, hormones, or synthetic dyes.

Habitat & River Journey:

Born in the cold, fast-flowing waters of the Pacific Northwest, Columbia River Chinook spend years feeding in the nutrient-rich North Pacific Ocean before returning to Washington’s mighty Columbia River basin for their fall migration. Unlike salmon in shorter coastal streams, Upriver Bright fall kings face a grueling freshwater journey spanning hundreds of miles inland without eating a single bite—prompting them to pack on heavy ocean lipid reserves and fine white fat marbling between their muscle flakes, which directly translates to the firm, succulent, and richly flavored fillets on your plate.

Fishery Info:

Washington’s Columbia River fall king salmon fishery is one of the most carefully managed and sustainable wild fisheries in the Pacific Northwest. Overseen through a science-driven partnership between the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), Oregon co-managers, federal NOAA biologists, and Columbia River treaty tribes, the fall harvest operates under strict seasonal quotas, real-time run monitoring, and selective gear rules designed to protect vulnerable wild populations while allowing responsible harvest of abundant fall stocks. Harvested by seasoned local and tribal fishers using time-honored methods and modern rapid-chilling handling, every catch supports multi-generational Pacific Northwest fishing communities and ensures peak freshness from river to table.

Country of Origin:

Our Columbia River Wild King Salmon fillets are a product of the U.S.A.
