Alaskan Salmon
It’s been a while since we’ve posted. We’ve been busy working on King Salmon this past month. Just to give you a little idea of what I mean when I say King Salmon…we have three different fisheries for King Salmon…technically two, but it really seems like three.
First, we’ve been buying and selling Stikine Kings. You can learn a little about them from previous posts. However, they are big, bright, beautiful gillnet Kings that are gaining popularity in Seattle wholesale and retail/restaurant markets. Just this morning I heard a piece on our local radio regarding a restaurant chain in Seattle selling them exclusively as their salmon dish.
Second, we’ve been moving Ocean Run Troll Kings. These are the cream of the crop so to speak salmon that demands the high prices and is guaranteed to make the customer appreciate fine salmon dining.
Finally, we buy Blind Slough Troll Kings. These are hatchery or terminal Kings that are caught out of small day boats and delivered daily. These Kings have nice color at the beginning of the run, but quickly gain what we call water marks, or beginning stages of darkening of the skin due to the salmon hitting the fresh water at the start of the river. These Kings too have great value, just not the quality of Ocean Run Trolls.
With that all said, we have plenty of King Salmon available at incredible prices, perfect for the weekend bbq. Give us a call, we ship anywhere in the US.
