Oct 18

Written By Kirk Lombard

Also called “silvers”. They are native to the north Pacific Ocean with a wide range. Ours are wild caught from Alaska.

Availability: Spring, Summer, Fall

The Meat

Coho salmon is a delight, rod and reel from the northern waters of Sitka, Alaska, Fairweather Grounds. Because it's IQF it's sushi-ready, or feel free to grill or pan sear it. Cook as you would king salmon, grilled, broiled, baked, or as poke or sashimi. Check The Fishwife’s recipes or just pan-seared a slab, squeeze a lemon on it and call it done!

Prep

Salmon will come filleted or steaked. Coho salmon are a bit smaller so your steaks may be too.

Health concerns

Salmon is nature's miracle fish; a predatory species that is low in all the bioaccumulated toxins and high in all the good stuff.

Bluefin carpaccio

"My favourite minimal preparation is carpaccio. It’s incredibly simple to make and almost impossible to mess up, it can mostly be prepared in advance, and it's a great showcase of the fish's natural texture and flavour.

Sea Forager member Cathi Sweeney says, “We made this NYT recipe with rockfish the first time, and then with the salmon we got this week. OMG! Even better with the IQF salmon, minus a couple of sashimi bites.”
