Some of you could be leery of eating canned salmon, and until a while ago, we might have agreed with you. The salmon that we test from this fisherman though, are by far the best that any of us have ever eaten. There are several reasons for that.
First, the fish are caught at their peak, before they go further north to spawn. This gives you a fish that still has all its omega oils, which benefit you, instead of later being used up by the fish in the spawning process. The next reason is that the fish are caught by hook and line rather than net, and they are treated gently, cleaned, rinsed several times and then flash frozen right on the boat.
All this gives you a mild, fresh, pale fish. Cooked in its own juices right in the sealed can, you get all the nutrition of an omega rich fish. This can of Alaska Sockeye has even more calcium than usual as it is canned with the skin and bones intact.
We can’t get over the mild, non-fishy taste and the rich, nutritious, natural broth. The meat is firm, even in color, with a fresh, mild fragrance. Whether we taste it as is from the can, or mix it with other ingredients, we consistently comment on the quality, moistness and fresh appearance.
This canned salmon beats ‘fresh’ farmed salmon that have been injected with color so that you don’t see how grey they are…and it beats fresh salmon caught in Alaska as the fish are depleted of their omega oils before spawning. Try this, or any of the canned salmon from this fisherman, and we believe that you will change your mind like we did: when it’s this canned salmon, it’s the best!
