Fresh Copper River Wild Silver Salmon - Ships September 2009

The Silver (Coho) salmon from Alaska's legendary run is a beautiful, naturally moist, mild yet flavorful wild salmon. This offering of Fresh Copper River Silver salmon is an exclusive opportunity for you to enjoy extraordinary fresh wild salmon from one of the most pristine, places on earth.

The Story of the Copper River:
High on Alaska’s remote Mt. Wrangell, the melting ice of Copper Glacier gives birth to the legendary Copper River - a raging 300-mile river, which is home to the most anticipated, and celebrated, wild salmon run in the world.

Beginning 3,600 feet above sea level, the Copper River squeezes its way through narrow canyons with walls of rock towering hundreds of feet above the river. As the Copper River forces its way downstream, it creates fast currents and powerful waves until it ultimately reaches sea level at the Copper River flats where it meets the Gulf of Alaska.

Salmon of the Copper River have been commercially harvested since 1889. Today these “thoroughbreds of the sea” are widely recognized for the unmatched culinary experience they offer, as they find their way to fine restaurants and markets across the country direct from one of the most pristine, most rugged, most untouched corners of the world.

How to Serve Storage
Contrary to what many cookbooks will recommend, the best way to cook salmon is to cook it slowly over low heat.  Slow cooking allows the fish to remain moist and full of flavorful oils.  When cooking in the oven, bake at 275ºF degrees for approximately 20 minutes or so.  When grilling, use a low-to-medium flame.  The salmon is done when the meat has turned opaque.  Don’t wait for it to necessarily “flake easily with a fork” as is often recommended - at that point, it may already be a bit overdone.
Storing Your Fresh & Wild Salmon
Upon arrival, remove your salmon from the bag and rinse both the salmon and the bag in cold water. Repackage until ready to use. Your fresh fillet can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

Freezing/Thawing
The fillet can be frozen & will keep in the freezer for approximately 30 days; when you freeze this fresh salmon, wrap it first in plastic wrap and try to get as much air out as possible. Then, wrap in foil and place in a zippered plastic bag.

Once thawed it should be cooked and used within 1-2 days. The best way to thaw your salmon is to leave it in the refrigerator overnight (in its pouch), allowing at least 8-10 hours. Trying to rush the process by thawing at room temperature or placing the frozen pouch in warm water is definitely not recommended, as it can cause the salmon to lose flavor and texture. If you must thaw your salmon quickly, place the frozen pouch in a bowl of cool water for 30-45 minutes, and then continue thawing in refrigerator.
