If you've only had supermarket brands, you're in for a very pleasant surprise!
Vital Choice Wild Red™ sockeye is always firm and luscious, because we select fish of superior culinary quality.
The color and fat content of sockeye will vary by season and harvest location … a hallmark of truly wild, natural fish.
We tap our insider contacts – and decades of salmon-fishing savvy – to secure the best fish from every sockeye “vintage” for our Wild Red™ line..
Sockeye salmon nutrition In addition to ample protein, Alaskan sockeye salmon offers abundant omega-3s, as well as unrivaled levels of vitamin D and astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin) … a carotenoid-class red-orange pigment with rare antioxidant power.
On average, sockeye salmon provides these amounts of nutrients per 3 oz serving (click the Nutrition tab on this page to see the omega-3 levels per official serving size for this product):
Omega-3s – About 997mg of omega-3 EPA+DHA, or 2 to 4 times more than the minimum daily EPA+DHA intake recommended by most world health authorities (250-500mg)).
Vitamin D3 – About 585 IU in the optimal D3 form, which is more than most other fish, and more than any fortified food, approaching the child-to-adult US RDA of 600 IU.
Astaxanthin – About 3.39 mg. This red-orange pigment is a carotenoid-class nutrient with unique health benefits.
“I received my Salmon and I'm just blown away at how good this stuff is! I am so thankful I can now get my daily dose of wild Salmon when I'm traveling, and add to that, no preparation required.” Melody Liddell
