Moist and mild, with a light orange color...the largest wild salmon of all. Native Americans nicknamed it "tyee" meaning "chief"—a fitting tribute to the size, beauty and nobility of the King salmon. King is the largest and moistest of all wild salmon, and captures a delicious flavor from the smoking process. Of course, like all SeaBear smoked salmon our King salmon is caught wild, hand-filleted and traditionally smoked over a blend of fruitwoods and hardwoods. Each fillet has been sealed in our Gold Seal™ Pouch, and then gently cooked in its own juices. This preserves the salmon naturally, so NO REFRIGERATION IS REQUIRED until the pouch is opened.
