Wild King salmon (aka Chinook salmon) is the largest of the five species of Pacific salmon, and the highest in fat. The fat of the Wild King salmon gives it its rich flavor. It can range in color from deep red all the way to white (white king salmon fillets). King salmon meat has a large flake size which is also prized.

King salmon from different river runs become available as the season progresses. In general, the primary differences are price, availability, and origin, with two notable exceptions:

Copper River King salmon are considered some of the finest wild salmon available due to their extremely high oil content (which they store in order to swim up the frigid and rugged river). This gives them an even richer flavor than other king salmon varieties.

Columbia River King salmon aren't as famous as their Copper River cousins, but similarly contain more flavorful & healthy oil than most king salmon varieties. Like the Copper River, the Columbia is a long, tough river for the fish to swim up prior to spawning, so they store as much energy as possible (as oil) prior to making the journey.

Store fresh salmon fillets in your refrigerator. Store frozen salmon fillets in the freezer until you're planning on cooking them, then defrost & store in the refrigerator.
