What are the differences between Chinook Salmon and Sockeye Salmon?
Sockeye Salmon has a bright red hue from eating zooplankton which provides significant amounts of carotenoids and B12. Sockeye has a medium fat content.
Chinook salmon has a higher fat content, softer texture and has a higher overall omega 3 content per serving.
Both Sockeye and Chinook salmon are considered to be the very best-tasting and healthiest types of salmon.

The bright red hue of sockeye fillets is due to the high carotenoid content of sockeye salmon’s diet.
