Fresh Water, Fresh Fish

One of the five things necessary for the survival of Chinook salmon is access to fresh, oxygenated water. This is no problem for Alaska Salmon, who swim freely in the clean, icy waters of the North Pacific. As such, they spawn, grow and mature at a natural rate, free of unnecessary growth hormones or additives. As a result, the flavor, color and texture of Alaska salmon are all natural.

Yes, Good fat

King salmon coming from the Copper River in Alaska (commonly known as just Copper River Salmon) are especially well known for their color, rich flavor, firm texture, and high Omega-3 oil content. However, like all salmon, Chinook health benefits are laudable. In a 3 ounce cooked, edible portion of Alaska King Salmon, there is just 200 calories, 22 grams of protein, and 11 grams of fat. Moreover, the fat presented in salmon is not just any fat; salmon is full of heart-healthy oils and two of the three "omega-3's," which are a type of polyunsaturated fatty acids that our bodies cannot produce themselves. Therefore we must get them from food, but two of the three types of fatty acids, EPA and DHA, are not plant based but are found in salmon. Both EPA and DHA help restrain excessive inflammation, and thus ease itches, sneezes, and pains associated with eczema, asthma, and arthritis.

No wonder people call salmon one of nature's original health foods!

Nutritious & Delicious

Let's not forget the best part: not only is salmon good for you, it tastes great. Chinook health benefits are only matched by its incredible flavor. Whether grilled or broiled, tossed in a salad, or drizzled with balsamic vinegar, King salmon is a delicacy as rich in flavor as it is in nutrients. You'll be so thrilled with the taste that you may never go back to eating other kinds of protein!

Alaska is home to an abundant variety of seafood, and offers some of the purest marine, freshwater, and upland habitats on the planet.

From the clear crystal waters comes seafood that is delicious and healthy. Alaskan seafood is low in fat but big on flavor and Omega-3 oils. You can study thousands of pages of nutritional research. Or, simply observe the amazing health and longevity of people in countries where seafood is the most important part of their diet. Either way, Alaska seafood is as healthy as it is delicious.

Are you are looking for a meal that is low in saturated fat, filled with nutrients and packed with good heart healthy Omega-3s oils? Then you should start with Alaska Seafood.
