Line-caught on small boats, our King salmon are iced immediately and flash-frozen to preserve its fresh-caught quality.
King salmon nutrition
In addition to ample protein, Pacific King salmon offers abundant omega-3s, as well as unrivaled levels of vitamin D and astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin).
Vitamin D3 – Provides one- to two-thirds of the child-to-adult US RDA (600 IU) ... more than almost all other fish, and far more than any fortified food.
Astaxanthin – About 1.49 mg (red king). This red-orange pigment is a carotenoid-class nutrient with unique health benefits. Astaxanthin content varies by color: King portions have the most while Ivory King portions have the least.
Wild king (Chinook) salmon top all wild species for fat and omega-3 content, and is very rich in vitamin D

"Wild Pacific King Salmon"augie c on 09/10/2020 16:35Review: Excellent quality and service. Packaging was perfect.
"Melts in the mouth"Jill P on 11/12/2021 12:40Review: Thank you, Vital Choice for existing!
I am sensitive to histamines. Vital Choice was recommended as a company who freezes some of their catch right on the boat, keeping the histamines very low. It was a very pleasant bonus to find that the King Salmon I ordered was absolutely heavenly. It was so tender it melted in my mouth! I will definitely continue ordering.
"Great!"cn on 10/28/2021 07:08Review: Beautiful, tasty salmon. Less water than TJ's when you defrost, which means you are not paying for water! The packaging is very well done and everything arrived frozen. Also like the fact the deboning is done in the U.S. and not sent to China.
I had no idea this was happening to other salmon!

1710mg EPA •
1600mg DHA
Keep frozen at or below 0° F (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain its quality for at least six to 12 months. Shellfish and lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish).
NOTE: Seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.
Thawing instructions
Thaw under refrigeration at or below 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging.
For quick-thawing, place frozen package in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture package). Prior to cooking, do not allow fish to reach temperatures above 38 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius).
Cooking and serving tips
Rinse fish quickly in cold, clean water.
Cook in a medium-hot lightly oiled pan, under a broiler, or on the grill for 7-8 minutes, until only the very center is still translucent.
Remove fish from heat and let it “self-cook” another two to three minutes, until just cooked through to center before serving.
NOTE: It is perfectly safe and healthful to serve our fish raw or partly cooked, because flash-freezing has rendered it 100% sushi-safe.
Enliven your fish entree with seasonings such as Vital Choice Organic Salmon Marinade Mix or other herb-spice blends.
Add the seasonings of your choice to a little olive oil and marinate the fish, refrigerated, for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Or, simply mist fish lightly with olive oil or macadamia nut oil and dust with seasonings before cooking.
