The little ABUNDANT! Light and delicate flavor, perfect for baking, grilling, or preparing with your favorite sauce. The smallest, but the most numerous of all.
Slightly lighter, pinker flesh than sockeye salmon.
Fun Fact: A life cycle of only 2 years means odd and even year populations never mix!
Highlight: Small in size, giant in abundance!
General information
General characteristics
All salmonids naturally have white flesh. In the case of wild salmon, the flesh naturally turns pink when, for reproductive reasons, they begin to feed on crustaceans. In the case of farmed salmon, the pink color of their flesh is obtained by adding astaxanthin to their feed, a food additive authorized by food safety agencies worldwide.
