This is a fresh, whole wild-caught King Salmon (Chinook) fillet, sold by the pound at Costco warehouses. King Salmon is prized for its rich, buttery flavor and firm, moist texture, making it one of the most highly regarded salmon species available. It is available seasonally and sourced from wild Pacific waters.

Wild King Salmon is one of the highest-quality fish you can buy, known for its exceptional fat content and deep orange-pink flesh. It delivers a mild yet distinctly rich flavor profile that lends itself to grilling, baking, pan-searing, poaching, and even preparation as sushi or sashimi. The high natural fat content keeps the fillet moist and flavorful under virtually any cooking method.

King Salmon is an outstanding source of omega-3 fatty acids (1.5–2.0g per 3.5 oz serving), high-quality protein (approximately 22g per 3.5 oz), Vitamin D (over 70% of the daily value per serving), Vitamin B12 (over 200% of the daily value), Selenium, and Potassium. Wild-caught salmon is free from antibiotics and artificial colorants, making it a cleaner and more nutritionally dense choice than farmed alternatives.
