Farmed King Salmon Heads are a prized whole-fish cut sold by the pound, sourced from farm-raised Chinook (King) salmon. King salmon is the largest Pacific salmon species and is valued for its exceptionally rich, high-fat flesh and buttery flavor. Salmon heads contain the cheek meat, collar, and fatty portions along the jaw and skull, making them highly sought after by chefs and home cooks for extracting deep, flavorful broth.
Salmon heads are a staple in many culinary traditions, including Japanese miso soup, Scandinavian salmon head soup, and various Southeast Asian fish head preparations. They can be roasted, braised, simmered into stock, or grilled. The collar and cheek areas yield some of the most flavorful and tender meat on the fish, often prized above the fillet by those familiar with whole-fish cooking. Sold by the pound, allowing customers to purchase the quantity they need.
