We believe that eating salmon is a delicious way to improve your health. So, we’ve partnered with the world’s best fishers and sustainable farmers, and sourced multiple species from around the globe, to bring you the right salmon for your taste and budget. Our boots-on-the-dock relationships with our suppliers and best-in-class handling ensure incredible flavor and quality, no matter which salmon you select for your family.

Our Favorite Salmon Cuts

We take great care in sourcing and cutting our salmon for you. Our farm-raised fish are shipped whole to preserve peak freshness. Once cut into sides, our fishmongers then decide on how to best break down each individual piece, so you’ll enjoy whatever cut you purchase. Here are some of our favorite cuts and ways to cook them.

Salmon Nutrition

Packed with protein and Omega-3s, salmon is a delicious way to improve your health.

Whether wild-caught or farm-raised, salmon is an excellent way to get more protein, micronutrients, and heart-healthy Omega-3s. In fact, the USDA and other leading health authorities suggest you should eat at least two 4-oz servings of fish per week (less for young children), particularly certain kinds of oily fish, such as salmon.

FAQs About Salmon Nutrition

Q: Is the Omega-3 content different between wild salmon and farmed salmon?

A: The fat content for salmon depends largely on what they eat. Wild salmon generally eat algae, small fish, and plankton; farmed salmon eat feed that’s usually a combination of plants, grains, and fishmeal formulated to promote higher Omega-3s. Our nutritionists report that farmed salmon are generally fattier than wild salmon, which means slightly higher amounts of all types of fats, including Omega-3s. Wild and farmed salmon contain some of the highest Omega-3 amounts of any food—eating salmon is a great way to add this important nutrient to your diet.

Q: Should I be concerned about the ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s in salmon?

A: The importance of the “Omega-6: Omega-3 ratio” is a matter of debate. While the ratio of Omega-6s to Omega-3s will vary, the ratio is generally higher in farmed salmon, and some believe this promotes inflammation that negatively affects health. However, there is a lack of scientific consensus on whether there is an “ideal” ratio (for individual foods or overall diet). Most experts agree we should focus on our pattern of eating (rather than individual nutrients) and that salmon is a good choice to promote health and reduce the risk of disease.

WHICH FISH IS THE RICHEST IN OMEGA-3s?

(Per 4 ounce cooked portion)

Health organizations suggest an intake of at least 250 to 500 milligrams of omega-3 EPA+DHA per day. The American Heart Association recommends 1,000 milligrams of EPA+DHA per day for patients with coronary heart disease, and two meals of oily fish per week for people without heart disease.
