Cook Inlet stretches 180 miles from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage. It’s pristine waters are the perfect place for the salmon to grow. Sockeye salmon are considered “salmon lover’s salmon”. With a mild flavor and heart healthy Omega 3 oils, Cook Inlet Sockeye Salmon are caught at the “Very Peak” of their lifecycle. Sockeye salmon are one of the smaller species of Pacific salmon, measuring 18 to 31inches in length and weighing 4-15 pounds. 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.

Wolfish
Ever tried it? This is a great fish that is perfect for grilling or baking.

Found from southern New England to Greenland and the Barents Sea, the bottom dwelling cold water creature is primarily a bycatch of trawl fisheries targeting cod, haddock and other ground fish. Iceland, which has a direct fishery for the species, is the largest producer.
