Yukon King Salmon Species Name: Oncorhynchus tshawytscha Sustainability Rating: Green – Best Choice What: Yukon Kings have not been commercially available in 8 years, as efforts to rebuild the stock have been in place preventing commercial fishing. Recently the decision was made to allow fishermen to retain kings that they catch as part of the Summer Keta fishery (by-catch). These are the first fish available as a result. The Kings are caught in Emmonak, Alaska (see red star on map), flown to Anchorage to be processed, boxed, and are then on their way to LAX.

Some Yukon River salmon migrate over 1,840 miles into the Yukon Territory from the open ocean, making for one of the longest salmon migrations in the world. As salmon do not feed during their swim up their home rivers and creeks, they must store fats and oils in their bodies to survive their long journeys. The Yukon River is roughly 2,300 miles in length, so these salmon carry more oil/fat than any other fish on the planet to survive the 60-80 day journey without eating.

The Yukon River empties the 5th largest drainage in North America and is one of the longest rivers in the United States. Some Yukon River salmon migrate over 1,840 miles into the Yukon Territory from the open ocean, making for one of the longest salmon migrations in the world. As salmon do not feed during their swim up their home rivers and creeks, they must store fats and oils in their bodies to survive their long journeys. The Yukon River is roughly 2,300 miles in length, so these salmon carry more oil/fat than any other fish on the planet to survive the 60-80 day journey without eating. The result is one of the best tasting fresh salmon on the planet for those lucky enough to experience it!

FOR YOUR MENU
