TYPES OF SALMON
|
|
|
Atlantic Smoked Salmon:
Atlantic smoked salmon is a very broad category that can include
many different types of smoked salmon which is found throughout
Northern Europe, and on the Eastern Seaboard of North America.
Buyer Beware! Because Norway originally pioneered Atlantic
salmon farming, smoked salmon from all over the world is labeled
–incorrectly- Norwegian smoked salmon
Pacific Smoked Salmon: A category used to
describe different species of salmon usually found in the
Pacific Ocean, most commonly from Alaska
and the Pacific Northwest, and Canada. The most popular Pacific
salmon found smoked in stores are:
-
King Salmon/ Chinook, also called the
spring or king salmon, with ivory white to deep red flesh.
Also called Canadian King Salmon.
-
Chum: also known as dog salmon –
for its canine-resembling teeth-, also known as Keta (an
Asian aboriginal name). Their flesh ranges from pale to
medium red in color. These are the least common of the
Pacific species of salmon.
-
Coho (Silver): Coho, or silver salmon,
is known for its red color flesh.
-
Sockeye (red): Sockeye, also known
as red salmon (and also sometimes labeled Nova, after
the style used in its smoking process), has a bright and
deep red-orange, firm flesh.
-
Pink (lumpback): Known as humpback
or humpie, is the smallest and most common of the North
American Pacific salmon. It has a light-colored flesh,
and a delicate taste, with a low fat content. |
