How to cook Salmon

Salmon is the beacon of the sea. It is one of the fattiest fish in the ocean and contains some of the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains some of the lowest mercury levels among predatory fish, making it not only delicious but also highly nutritious. To honor this amazing fish, our goal is to teach you how to cook it to perfection.

Getting Ready for the 2027 Season

After three years of waiting and a bunch of paperwork, we are getting the engines humming for a 2027 salmon season. This isn’t just about our ability to fish; it is about the survival and coexistence of two species that depend on each other.  Without fresh, tasty fish in the mouths of the local population, Central California Chinook Salmon will fade into obscurity. The Monterey Bay has historically been home to some of the fattest salmon on the West Coast because of the nutrient-rich upwelling from one of the world’s deepest trenches. Bringing in massive schools of anchovy and herring for the salmon to feed on.
