INFORMATION

Chinook and Sockeye salmon are a top source of Omega 3 and salmon protein. Wild caught salmon are also a good source of important minerals, including iodine, calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorous and sodium. Vitamins in salmon include A, D. B-6, and B-12.
What are the differences between Chinook Salmon and Sockeye Salmon?
Sockeye Salmon has a bright red hue from eating zooplankton which provides significant amounts of carotenoids and B12. Sockeye has a medium fat content.
Chinook salmon has a higher fat content, softer texture and has a higher overall omega 3 content per serving.
Both Sockeye and Chinook salmon are considered to be the very best-tasting and healthiest types of salmon.

Sockeye Salmon Nutrition Information (red)
The bright red hue of sockeye fillets is due to the high carotenoid content of sockeye salmon’s diet.
Sockeye Salmon's diet predominantly revolves around zooplankton; nutritious small organisms that live near the surface of marine environments. This zooplankton provides significant amounts of carotenoids and B12.

Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, wild-caught and freshly canned in Ketchikan, Alaska.
Sockeye salmon is exceptionally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, which are crucial for maintaining heart health by reducing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing risk factors for disease. It’s a high-quality protein source (approx. 46 grams of protein per can!) which helps to repair tissue, protect bone health, and maintain muscle mass.
Sockeye is packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and is an excellent source of several B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12), which are necessary for energy production, controlling inflammation, and protecting heart and brain health. Also a good source of vitamin D, crucial for bone health and immune function, and selenium, important for thyroid and hormonal health. Sockeye salmon also contains astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant that gives the fish its distinctive red color. Astaxanthin has been linked to reduced risk of heart disease by improving the elasticity of blood vessels, reducing inflammation, and combating oxidative stress.
It’s very low in mercury, making it a safe choice for regular consumption, especially for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children.
Choosing wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon not only supports a healthy diet but also promotes sustainable fishing practices. Alaska’s fisheries are well-managed to ensure the long-term health of salmon populations and their natural habitat.
