Our wonderful Chinook Salmon are special for many reasons. First, they are WILD. Second, they are rich in the "miracle" nutrient Omega-3 fatty acid. Third, they are caught in the most environmentally friendly way possible. One important fact to remember is that our Chinook Salmon are WILD. This means they have NO antibiotics added to keep them alive and NO dyes added to color their meat as a farmed salmon would. Most of the foods humans eat are very deficient in the critical nutrient Omega-3 fatty acid. It has been depleted from many of our soils and is very difficult to get naturally without supplementation. However, the good news is that chinook salmon is very high in these beneficial fats. Our body needs these "good" fats for brain development and function, healthy heart function, and just about every other body function there is. There have been many studies about the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids. Ocean troll caught salmon are special. Each fish is individually caught on a trolled lure, usually at a fairly great depth (200 to 500 ft or more). From these deep, clear, cold waters, where the salmon have been feeding on some of the tastiest seafood in the world, the salmon are pulled to the surface one at a time where they are instantly killed then quickly cleaned and immersed in slush ice to lock in all the delicate flavors and freshness of their unique diet. |
