What is the difference between Alaskan and Canadian salmon?
The Canadian sockeye salmon we offer is virtually identical to the Alaskan. They are essentially the same fish harvested by Alaskan and Canadian fisherman as they pass through their respective waters; Southeastern Alaska and Northwestern Canada share a common border. Some of the very best sockeye are actually destined for two large Canadian rivers just south of this border. (This is “insider knowledge” known to few outside the fishing industry–and Vital Choice customers!) These rivers–the Skeena and Nass–are carefully managed and presently undergoing the MSC certification process (www.msc.org). Our objective is to provide our customers with the earth’s purest all natural, sustainably harvested seafood. Both the Canadian and Alaskan sockeye we presently offer qualifies on all counts.
