Wild Copper River Sockeye from Alaska…
Copper River Sockeye salmon are some of the most sought after fish in the world. Every year in mid-May, restaurants try to be among the first to serve the year’s first run of fresh Copper River Sockeye salmon on their menus. The Copper River’s origin is the Copper Glacier on Mount Wrangell, Alaska. Because the Copper River is so swift, they must store extra fat and oils in order to survive the long trip. This high fat and oil content is why Copper River salmon are recognized as some of the world’s best-eating salmon. When it comes to nutritional benefits, Copper River Salmon are a smart choice for a healthy diet. The high oil content of Copper River salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce heart disease and lower cholesterol. Studies have also found that fish oil can help fight ailments such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer, and migraines. Furthermore, salmon is an excellent source of protein and essential amino acids.
