Wild Coho salmon from Puget Sound, WA
Coho are a very popular sport fish in Puget Sound. Puget Sound is one of the most unique bodies of water in the world. Technically, Puget Sound is the portion of the inland waters south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca in central Washington State. Coho salmon migrate from the ocean to spawn in fresh water. They average 6-12 lbs up to 31 lbs. Coho salmon are sometimes called silver salmon or “silvers” because of their especially silver skin. They have bright red flesh and a slightly more delicate texture than king salmon but a similar flavor with firm texture. This fish is a must for your holiday menu.

Octopus are eating the crabs in the cages. There is very poor production now. I understand it is frustrating not to have this great product, but the boats, who make their living on this item, are suffering much more.

Salmon fillets
The holiday season always brings issues with flying fish in. The airlines will bump cargo in favor of passenger’s luggage. Good thing when you are flying, bad thing when you are trying to sell fish.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
