Introducing wild sockeye salmon caught in Canada's bountiful western rivers. Each pack contains one 500g (1.1lbs) skin-on sockeye salmon fillet - a delicacy that is hard to find in Japan. Absolutely no use of additives or preservatives, not even salt. This fish is sashimi-grade, meaning you can defrost it in the refrigerator and serve it raw. Sockeye salmon has stunning red flesh that's leaner than Atlantic salmon and characterized by its light yet delicious flavor.This wild sockeye salmon is caught sustainably by the First Nations people, a population that has lived in Canada for centuries. The fish are caught one by one in specific locations using small trawlers or tangle nets. This method reduces damage to the fish and prevents quality deterioration due to lack of acidity since the fish are not in close contact with each other. It also allows accurate counting of fish, which helps prevent overfishing and maintain proper catch management. Also available as dice cuts or 200g skin-on fillet portions.
