Costco's Fresh Wild King Salmon Fillet is a premium whole-muscle fillet sourced from wild-caught Chinook (King) salmon, the largest and most prized of all Pacific salmon species. Each fillet is sold fresh by the pound, never frozen, making it ideal for peak flavor and texture.

Troll-caught fishing uses individual hook-and-line methods, hooking fish one at a time. This technique is considered one of the most sustainable and selective forms of salmon harvesting, resulting in minimal bycatch and fish that are handled gently immediately after catch. The method helps preserve the flesh quality compared to net-caught alternatives.

King salmon is renowned for its exceptionally high fat content and rich, buttery flavor. The deep red-orange flesh is tender and moist, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that sets it apart from other salmon varieties. It is one of the best natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids among all fish, along with high levels of vitamin D, B vitamins, selenium, and potassium. King salmon is excellent prepared by grilling, baking, broiling, or pan-searing and pairs well with a wide range of seasonings and sauces.
