What sets Stikine Spring salmon apart from other spring salmon? These Springs come from the Stikine River, approximately 610 km long, located in northwest British Columbia. The length of the river is greatly beneficial to the salmon’s quality. All wild salmon stop feeding when they enter their native freshwater, and build up fats and oils beforehand to sustain them through this period.
Stikine salmon build up a much higher fat and oil content in anticipation of the longer fast. This translates into a fish with enhanced flavour and texture, and a superior fish on your tables. Their red meat, high oil and fat content and superior texture make Stikine salmon a highly regarded product among discerning customers.
7 seas is pleased to offer Stikine Spring salmon, a fish who’s habitat is carefully controlled for sustainability and environmental well-being. Additionally, Stikine Spring salmon are wild, and the harvesting techniques present an attractive alternative to other wild salmon that may be harvested in a more aggressive manner that can be damaging to the fish’s appearance and quality.
