Copper River Coho Salmon
The mighty Copper River is one of the swiftest and most rugged rivers in Alaska. Copper River coho, also called silver salmon, is caught in late summer through early fall. It’s a wonderful fish that is mild in flavor, which makes it perfect for grilling or baking. The Copper River coho has a lower oil content, which makes it milder and therefore enjoyed by everyone, even those who do not eat a lot of fish. They also store more heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids than any other species of salmon – a nutrient which has been linked to cardio vascular health, muscle development, eye care, and may even boost your metabolism. All in all, this a great fish for your menu.

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.
