This Week's Catch

June 28 - July 2, 2022

Copper River Salmon

Gill-net caught, Alaska

 $18.50 per pound

​

​

It’s probably the last time this year we’ll be able to feature this special salmon. Don’t miss it! Perhaps it's the short season—from mid-May through June—that makes Copper River salmon the most celebrated of salmons. Or maybe it's the deep red color, melt-in-your-mouth texture, and exceptional flavor. Or maybe it's the marketing. Who knows. But nearly everyone you talk to says that Copper River salmon is one of the best. What’s more, the price at the end of the season is remarkably low. If you haven’t yet tried it, the time is now!

The salmon travel upstream some 300 miles from the ocean to spawn in Alaska's pristine glacier-fed Copper River (the 10th largest river in the US). Since they don’t eat once they have re-entered freshwater, they need to store massive amounts of fat to make the journey, accounting in large part for its great texture and flavor and its high omega-3 content. Low mercury level. Kosher.

Alaskan Halibut

Long line caught, Alaska

$27.00 per pound

​

​

The firm, flaky texture and mild flavor of Alaskan halibut make it a member favorite. It is commonly considered a premium white fish.

Halibut is among the largest fish in the sea—it is certainly the largest flat fish. Its usual size ranges from 20 to 40 pounds, but it can grow to 8 feet long. These days Alaskan halibut is strictly managed by the Pacific Halibut Commission.

Halibut flesh is thick, meaty, and firm, and its flavor is sweet and rich. It also affords the cook many preparation options, including grilling, roasting, baking, and broiling. Seafood Watch rates it a “Good Alternative,” and it is MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) certified. Moderate mercury level. Kosher.
