A whole, fresh, farm-raised Atlantic salmon sold by the pound at Costco's seafood counter. This is an intact whole fish — not a fillet — ideal for roasting or baking whole, presenting at dinner parties, or having portioned into custom-cut fillets. Farm-raised Atlantic salmon is known for its rich, moist, and mildly flavored flesh with a higher fat content than wild-caught varieties, resulting in a tender, flaky texture that holds up well to a variety of cooking methods including baking, grilling, roasting, and pan-searing.

Farm-raised Atlantic salmon is typically sourced from Norway or Chile and is raised in controlled aquaculture environments. It is a rich source of high-quality protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). The flesh has a characteristic deep pink-orange color and a buttery, mild flavor that pairs well with lemon, herbs, garlic, teriyaki, pesto, and other sauces. The whole fish format allows the cook to portion it to any thickness or preparation style desired.
