Wild Pacific Salmon
The fishermen of Fairweather Fish catch and sell all five species of
wild Alaska salmon: chinook, coho, sockeye, pink and chum. Each of
these species has its own life history and its own habitat
requirements, and each has its own unique characteristics and uses as a
delicious source of food.
All five salmon species benefit from a resource
management system that emphasizes conservation, and ensures that enough fish migrate upstream to spawn (reproduce) and sustain the fisheries. And because they
migrate freely at sea, these wild salmon eat other wild marine life.

its firm texture. Because they swim in the open ocean they are free
from the parasitic afflictions of farm fish and are less likely to
contract diseases spread in enclosed fish farm spaces. |
