So, Fishermen would keep them for themselves. In the old days, when fishermen hand-trolled on 18-foot vessels rigged with oar and sail and their fishing lines were made of cotton and they slept under tarps on the bows of their boats, buyers didnвЂ™t buy ivory king salmon. Д«ecause of their pale color, ivory king salmon tend to be shunned by wholesale buyers. Because of this inability to digest krill, ivory king salmon prey on more oily fish, like herring and needle-fish, giving them an extra dose of the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids that our bodies need. And only a very tiny percentage of king salmon (roughly ~4-5 %) have a unique genetic anomaly, a missing enzyme, that make them unable to metabolize the pigments in krill, which give other salmon their orange-ish pink-ish salmon color. For starters, King Salmon are the rarest of the 5 Pacific wild salmon species.

Just like our canned tuna, our canned salmon is just that: line-caught ivory king salmon plus a few grains of salt. Now we are super-proud to announce our canned ivory king salmon, which is as ridiculously good as our canned tuna. ItвЂ™s difficult to put a label on a fresh fish in a fish market case, but our canned tuna labels had an address on them and people tracked us down to get this delicious canned tuna delivered to their homes. Long before we had a retail website to sell fish to home consumers, the Seafood Producers Cooperative business office received calls from home consumers wanting us to ship them our cases of our gourmet canned tuna.
