The 2025 Copper River salmon season is underway in Southcentral Alaska, and we're privileged to offer this prized delicacy. Copper River sockeye salmon are the most succulent of wild sockeye salmon, surpassing even other Alaskan sockeye in terms of taste and texture. Caught at the mouth of the Copper River by independent family fishers, these legendary fish are celebrated for their epic migration, vivid color, and superior flavor. Our Copper River sockeye comes to you flash-frozen and individually vacuum-packaged in serving-size portions so you can enjoy some of the rarest salmon in the world even after it has disappeared from restaurants.

What makes Copper River salmon so special?
Each May, the glacier-fed Copper River in Southcentral Alaska plays host to the momentous event when salmon swim upriver to their ancestral spawning grounds deep in the Alaskan backcountry. It is the very first salmon run of the year and Copper River salmon are unlike any other. They accumulate extra fat stores while living in the ocean, giving them the fuel necessary to swim hundreds of miles upstream and gain thousands of feet of elevation while facing near-freezing water temperatures. Those extra fat stores produce salmon with exceptionally rich, luscious flavor and large, velvety flakes. Like all seafood harvested in Alaska, Copper River salmon is MSC certified sustainable.* The Copper River salmon run is carefully managed to ensure the long-term health of the run. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game sets strict quotas on the number of fish that can be harvested each year and carefully counts the "escapement"-the number of fish that get past fisherman and make it back upstream to spawn.

*MSC CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD: Products described as "MSC certified" come from a fishery that has been independently certified as sustainable under a program operated by The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), a global nonprofit organization. These fisheries have been found to meet all three principles of the MSC Fisheries Standard, which are to sustain wild seafood stocks, to use catch methods that have minimal environmental impact, and to demonstrate effective fishery management.
