BUMBLE BEE WILD ALASKA SOCKEYE RED SALMON, $3.99 for 7.5 ounces (76 cents an ounce).
Fortunately, Alaska still has healthy salmon fisheries, particularly the many millions of sockeye (red) salmon runs of Bristol Bay, which yields a third of the state's annual harvest.
In addition, species that are important for fisheries and aquaculture are well represented, such as rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, 10%), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, 5.1%), gilt-head (sea) bream (Sparus aurata, 2.2%), Sockeye (red) salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka, 1.3%), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides, 1.3%) and channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus, 1.1%).
Some common examples of types of salmon available in Seattle, Washington include Pacific, Alaskan, red, pink or sockeye.
The lake is the headwaters for the most important spawning ground for sockeye, or red, salmon in North America.
2. Sockeye -- redder than king.
Regardless, I like sockeye salmon, or reds, for eating, which are the kind of salmon they pull out of the Copper River.
But Alaskan/Pacific salmon has several species typically referred to as: Kings, Reds, or Silvers (also called Chinook, Sockeye or Coho).
Sockeye Salmon, or Red Salmon, is more abundant than King Salmon.
