Oncorhynchus kisutch, known as Coho salmon, is a wild species that is also farmed in Chile. It is a smaller salmon, typically weighing between 3 and 4 kg. Its flesh is even redder than Atlantic salmon, with a more delicate texture. In Japanese cuisine, Coho requires special care in preparation due to its delicacy.
General information
General characteristics
All salmonids naturally have white flesh. In the case of wild salmon, the flesh naturally turns salmon-colored when, for reproductive reasons, they begin to feed on crustaceans. In the case of farmed salmon, the salmon-colored flesh is obtained by adding astaxanthin to their feed, a food additive authorized for use by food safety agencies worldwide.
