1lb California King Salmon

TASTE & FLAVOR: Fresh off the boat, California King Salmon has a short fishing season so it's highly desirable. It's sushi grade so eat it raw or cook it however you please! California King Salmon is tender with a rich, buttery flavor unlike any other salmon.

PREPARATION: California King Salmon is a fatty fish with lots of flavor. You can smoke it, grill it, pan sear it, or bake it. It's even great served raw as sushi! If preparing as sushi make sure to consume within 1-2 days of delivery for optimal freshness! Before you start cooking make sure to clean off the fish by pating dry, and remove the bloodline and skin with a sharp knife. Please be aware of the risk you assume by eating raw or undercooked seafood, If you choose to eat that way, shave off the air exposed meat before preparing and hold up to light to make sure meat is clear, if you see anything inside the fish cut that piece out and the rest is ready to eat. We do not recommend eating fish raw unless you know how to prepare it properly.

FISHING METHOD: Line Caught

CAUGHT OUT OF: Monterey Bay, CA

BOAT: F/V Kai Honi

FISHING SEASON: Depends on quota

HOW IT COMES: To ensure travel from dock to doorstep we keep the skin on to preserve texture and integrity and because freshness is everything, we leave the bloodline visible—a natural marker of quality that speaks for itself. Your fish will arrive in a protective bag in one or two loins depending on amount ordered—though we recommend 2lbs for a quality cut. Please note that all weights are approximate; filleting is a craft, not a formula, so your portion may come in slightly above or below the target. If it’s under, just reach out—we’re happy to make it right.

STORING: If you choose to store your fish in the refrigerator we suggest consuming it within 3 days of delivery. If you do not plan on eating the fish within 3 days we suggest freezing it immediately after delivery to ensure freshness. Before freezing we suggest removing the fish from the bag and patting dry Then place it in a vacuum sealed bag or double saran wrapped and place in ziploc before freezing. To defrost run cool (not hot) water over the bag for 5-10 minutes or Defrosting in the refrigerator.
