Salmon Content
Overview
Alaska is home to all five species of wild Pacific salmon and supplies 90–95% of the nation’s wild salmon harvest. As the country’s largest wild salmon producer, Silver Bay Seafoods proudly plays a leading role in this system- processing king, sockeye, coho, pink, and keta. From all our facilities across Alaska, we deliver top-quality H&G, portions, fillets, canned salmon, roe, and more.
Species
- Chinook (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha, also called “King”)
- Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka, also called red”)
- Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch, also called “silver”)
- Pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, also called “humpie”)
- Keta (Oncorhynchus keta, also called “chum”)
Certifications & Standards
All five Alaska salmon species are certified under Certified Seafood International (CSI) and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). These programs are benchmarked by the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI) and aligned with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.
