Try This Recipe with Sizzlefish Wild Alaska King Salmon
King salmon, also known as Chinook salmon, is a wild-caught fish that comes from the cold, pure waters of Alaska. This provides the fish with the conditions it needs to produce its signature taste, texture, and fat content. King salmon’s rich taste also makes it a good candidate for grilling because it retains its moist texture and taste even when cooked at high temperatures.
Our King salmon arrives in frozen portions to preserve the fish’s freshness. This helps to make it easier to produce good results when grilling recipes like salmon kebabs, which require high heat.
