Finding Salmon in Canada: From Chinook to Atlantic Salmon
Fresh wild caught Salmon in Canada is available between end spring and start of fall. River and sea salmon are costlier than farmed salmon because they have a milder, buttery aroma and high Omega 3 fatty acids than their farmed counterparts.
If you miss the seasonal fresh salmon, you can opt for frozen wild caught or farm-raised alternatives which are available year-round.
If you prize the organic Chinook salmon, then you will be able to access it at an upper price of at least 16 Canadian dollars per pound. Chinook is a favorite of many seafood connoisseurs because it is the biggest species among Pacific salmon. It also has a buttery smooth texture that whets many an appetite.
Atlantic salmon is also moderately priced. Besides, it is one of the most popular among all fish for Canadians.
There are also premium options in form of imported salmon from Alaska. The Copper river salmon, which also sells in Canada goes for as much as 59.50 US dollars per pound in Seattle’s popular Pike Market area in the U.S. The species lives in very cold glacier waters, which in turn makes it a hard catch for fishermen.
