What is Atlantic Salmon
Atlantic Salmon is a species of fish in the family Salmonidae. It is native to the northern Atlantic Ocean and to rivers that flow into the north Atlantic. Wild Atlantic Salmon is an endangered fish due to overfishing, which is why Crowd Cow sources its Atlantic Salmon from top tier sustainable sources. The average 4 oz serving of salmon has 240 calories, 23 grams of protein, and only 14 grams of fat.
