Fresh farm-raised King Salmon heads sold by the pound at Costco. King Salmon, also known as Chinook salmon, is prized for its rich, buttery flavor and high fat content, and the heads are no exception — they are packed with flavorful, moist meat, collagen, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Salmon heads are a versatile ingredient popular in many culinary traditions, including Japanese, Scandinavian, and Pacific Northwest cuisines. They are excellent for making deeply flavored broths and stocks, slow-roasting, braising, or steaming. The cheeks, collar, and cavity meat offer tender bites that are difficult to overcook thanks to the surrounding bone structure. The heads are also ideal for soups such as salmon head miso soup or chowder.

Farm-raised King Salmon are fed a controlled diet that yields consistent fat marbling and a mild, rich flavor profile year-round. This product is sold fresh by the pound, making it an economical choice for home cooks and professional kitchens looking to utilize the whole fish.
