The Story
Sockeye salmon is historically the most sought after and highly valued salmon species due to its high nutritional oil content, superior flavor and its firm red flesh. This elevated quality is thought to be a result of their diet, which consists mainly of krill. Raincoast Trading catches salmon in their natural environment using species-specific, selective harvesting techniques. To preserve the natural flavor of the fish, as well as to warrant that there is nothing but healthy fish passed on to the end consumer, Raincoast Trading's salmon are kept in their natural state once caught. They do not administer any antibiotics, hormones or genetically modify the fish in any way. It is just another way that Raincoast Trading is committed to providing customers with the highest quality product possible.
