I thought this salmon was too expensive. It seemed dry and less flavorful compared to the less expensive Kvaroy Arctic salmon I usually buy from Crowd Cow.

Why it tastes different
What sets Copper River apart
Farmed Atlantic
Pen-raised on feed pellets. No migratory challenge means low natural fat development. Consistent but undistinguished.
Bristol Bay Sockeye
Wild and excellent — but a 40-million-fish run. Commodity scale. Shorter migration means less stored fat than Copper River fish.
What you’re getting
Copper River
~1M fish run. 300-mile migration with 3,000 ft elevation gain forces higher fat storage. Caught at the ocean mouth — peak fat content, before any energy is burned swimming upriver.
Fifth Generation of Fishermen
Sena Sea is the culmination of a rich fishing history.
Quality explained
“Fresh” fish isn’t what you think.
Unless you’re pulling it off the dock yourself, the chance you’re eating fish that’s never been frozen is extremely rare. Most “fresh” fish is previously frozen and thawed by the time it hits the shelf.
Freezing at harvest pauses the fish at peak quality. Done right — the way Rich and Sena Sea do it — it preserves the product better than 99% of what’s sold as “fresh” today. The difference is in how quickly it’s frozen after the catch, and that’s exactly what a family-owned plant in Cordova allows them to control.
