Alaska Salmon

Alaska salmon is protected by one of the most stringent and sustainable fisheries management systems in the world. Since 1959, the state of Alaska has mandated a precautionary, scientific approach to fishing, setting firm harvest limits that prevent over-fishing and preserve the pristine natural environment. The flavor of Alaska Salmon depends upon fat content and the environment in which it matured. Alaska's icy, pure waters and the abundance of natural food give Alaska Salmon unparalleled flavor. The fat content of salmon depends not only on the genetic make-up of each species, but also on its spawning cycle. The longer and more vigorous the freshwater trip, the more fat the fish will carry as it leaves the ocean.
