Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon 6 oz portions, skinless/boneless

Description

Many Alaskans prize sockeye for its exceptionally firm texture and rich, iconic salmon flavor.

Sockeye abounds in omega-3s, and delivers even more vitamin D than other wild salmon, which are the best known food sources by far.

Finally, sockeye salmon offers unmatched levels of astaxanthin — the potent, carotenoid-class antioxidant that gives all wild salmon their red-orange hue.

Each species of wild salmon features its own characteristic flavor and texture, and has its admirers.

But our most popular salmon features a deep, rich flavor that many Alaskans consider the “truest” salmon taste.

This fabulously healthful fish abounds in omega-3s, vitamin D, and more … see “Sockeye salmon: A true superfood”, below.

Why is Vital Choice sockeye so clearly superior?
Salmon connoisseurs find that our sockeye easily beats the very best that supermarkets and specialty stores can offer.

The reasons are simple, but very hard for others to replicate.

First and foremost, the relationships we fostered during decades of fishing Alaskan waters give us rare access to the very finest of these fish.

And our sockeye comes from smaller harvest regions (“fisheries”) that host fewer boats and feature faster processing … so our sockeye is flash-frozen within hours of harvest to capture its fresh-caught quality.

These advantages explain why chefs and savvy salmon shoppers consider Vital Choice wild Alaskan sockeye such a rare catch!

Pure and wholesome
Wild Alaskan salmon rank among the purest of all ocean fish, which is why the EPA, FDA, and consumer advocates recommend it without reservation.

Sockeye salmon: A true super food
As well as ample protein, sockeye offers abundant omega-3s and unrivaled levels of vitamin D and astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin).

On average, each 6 oz skinless sockeye portion provides:

• Omega-3s – 1,500-2,000mg (mostly EPA and DHA), or 6 to 8 times the minimum daily EPA+DHA intake (250mg) recommended by most world health authorities. (Omega-3 content varies by harvest year, region, and individual fish; view the Nutrition information for this product to see its current average omega-3 content.)
• Vitamin D3 – About 1,110 IU (in the optimal D3 form). This is double the child-to-adult US RDA (600 IU), more than any other fish or salmon species, and far more than farm-raised salmon or any fortified food, such as milk. (Current vitamin D3 content for this product, if available, is displayed in its Nutrition Information.)
• Astaxanthin – 6-7mg*. This red-orange pigment is a carotenoid-class nutrient with unique health benefits. Most farm salmon are fed synthetic versions, which do not appear to produce the same biological benefits**.

Sockeye vs. King and Silver salmon
Wild Alaskan Sockeye is richer than our silver (coho) salmon and a bit leaner than our king (chinook) salmon, with a firmer texture than either fish.
