We also carry an organic Scottish variety (a 12-14# whole fish) which we cut fillets from daily to insure quality. All summer long Sammy's carries all the WILD Alaskan varieties available-Coho, King, Silver, etc. Sammy's also carries cold and hot smoked varieties of salmon. For hot smoked salmon over mesquite fire burning smoker- call aheads are required. Call to discuss your choices and try some sample.

COHO SALMON  -   WILD Alaska   
The Coho or Silver Salmon is the most handsome of all the Pacific Ocean Salmon Species with it's stunning metallic blue and silver coloration and glistening vivid orange flesh color. The flesh has a delicate mellow flavor and a velvety texture, full of Omega-3 oils, yet less fatty than a king or sockeye.

KING SALMON  -    WILD Alaska     
The Alaska King Salmon is the largest species of Pacific Salmon.  King Salmon meat is high in Omega 3 oils and the meat is full of flavor, the color is rich, and the taste is supreme. Known for their buttery flavor, this great white salmon of the Pacific Northwest is available at Sammy's in season summer months.

SOCKEYE SALMON  -   WILD Alaska  
The Sockeye is the smallest most delicate of the Alaska Wild salmon family, these wild salmon are sought after for their unique flavor and bright red, extra firm texture. The sockeye salmon, often referred to as "red" or "blueback" salmon, occurs in the North Pacific and Arctic oceans and associated freshwater systems.

 SILVERBRITE SALMON  -   WILD Alaska  
Resembling sockeye, silverbrite salmon has black specks over their silvery sides while their skin color, flesh color, and oil content of chum vary much more than other salmon species. This is because chum spawns close to the ocean, which means it does not build up a large quantity of oil, so the quality of its flesh can change dramatically in a short time. The highest-quality chum salmon is called “silver brite,” referring to its bright silver skin color.

SMOKED SALMON 

Norwegian

This type of smoked salmon is one of the most popular varieties in the market today. It can be farmed or wild and is from the fjords of Norway. Distinguished by its peachy-pink color, this salmon is leaner – since it has less fat, and has a more densely smoky flavor than the Scottish variety, with a more intense aroma. The texture is silky smooth, a little on the oily side, with a flavor that is subtly salty. Norwegian smoked salmon undergoes dry-curing with different types of wood, like Juniper.  

Scottish

Arguably the most highly-prized salmon variety, Scotch smoked salmon has incredibly tender and buttery flesh, with a color that is more orange-pink. This variety is farmed or caught in the cool Scottish waters and lakes. Scottish smoked salmon is recognized by a flavor that comes from the use of oak-barrels or chips from old whisky barrels during the smoking process.

 

Hot Smoked

  Center cuts, fillets or whole Scottish salmon are lightly salted and then hot smoked over Mesquite wood fire and smoked to flaky perfection. This smoked salmon is sold fresh-cooked and ready to eat. Call ahead to give a full day prep for smoking. Looks wonderful served on a platter simply garnish with parsley!
