Costco's Farmed King Salmon Tail Fillets are fresh, skin-on cuts from the tail section of farm-raised King (Chinook) salmon, sold by the pound at the warehouse seafood counter. King salmon is prized for its high natural oil content and rich, buttery flavor, making it one of the most sought-after salmon varieties available.

Tail fillets are slightly thinner and tapered compared to center cuts, making them well suited for quick cooking methods such as pan-searing, broiling, or baking. The higher fat-to-muscle ratio typical of King salmon helps these cuts remain moist and flavorful even when cooked to well-done. Farm-raised sourcing provides a consistent supply of fresh fish throughout the year with a mild, approachable flavor profile.
