Wild-caught Sockeye Salmon from Pacific Clouds Seafood out of Kodiak, Alaska.  Also known as "red salmon" because of the dark red-orange color of its flesh and because it turns deep red as it swims upstream at the end of its life to spawn, Sockeye salmon is rich in texture and high in flavor. In fact, for people who like the flavor of salmon, sockeye tastes the most like salmon.
