(Sockeye Salmon – Latin: Oncorhynchus nerka)
Traditionally packed as a whole piece of fish with skin and bones, our wild Pacific sockeye salmon is one of the highest, non-dairy sources of calcium. The little bones are very tender and mash up easily.

Sockeye salmon measure 18 to 31 inches in length and weigh 4-15 pounds. Like all species of Pacific salmon, sockeye salmon are anadromous, living in the ocean but entering fresh water to spawn. Sockeye salmon spend 1-4 years in fresh water and 1-3 years in the ocean.
Sea-going sockeye salmon have iridescent silver flanks, a white belly, and a metallic green-blue top, giving them their “blueback” name. As sockeye salmon return upriver to their spawning grounds, their bodies turn brilliant red and their heads take on a greenish color, hence their other common name, “red” salmon.
Sockeye salmon are found in cold waters of North Pacific Ocean – on the west coast of North America and on the east coast of Asia.

North pacific salmon is excellent for omegas and other nutrients. The less food is tampered with, the better.

My go to brand for years. Minimal cleaning required. Great in sandwiches or as salad on veggie nights. It’s the best tin salmon on the planet
