Fresh head-on Atlantic salmon, farm raised and sold by the pound. This whole-presentation salmon is offered fresh at Costco's seafood counter, retaining the head for a classic presentation favored in whole-fish preparations such as steaming, roasting, or grilling. Farm-raised Atlantic salmon is known for its mild, rich flavor and high omega-3 fatty acid content, making it a popular and nutritious protein choice.

Atlantic salmon from Costco is raised without added hormones. The head-on format is ideal for customers who prefer to portion and prepare the fish themselves, or for cooking techniques such as whole-roasted salmon or traditional Asian-style steamed fish dishes where the head is part of the presentation. The skin and bones are intact, which helps retain moisture during cooking and adds flavor.
