The Healthiest Salmon in the World

Harald Hois, 21.09.2021

The quality and taste of salmon varies greatly; wild sockeye salmon meat is probably the most highly prized and is certainly the healthiest.

The sockeye salmon is one of seven species of Pacific salmon and it is prized all over the world for its firm, succulent orange meat and fine aroma. Oncorhynchus nekra, or sockeye salmon, breeds the cold lakes and rivers from Alaska to the Sacramento River in California, in the Yukon Territory, in British Columbia (Canada) and near Washington and Oregon (USA).
