Are wild alaskan salmons from the ocean or the river?!


Question: the canned kind. Also what are the juices in the can?


Answers: the canned kind. Also what are the juices in the can?

Wild Alaskan salmon are from the ocean but they migrate to their breeding grounds up river to spawn. They are caught at sea and often as they head to the rivers and are caught upstream while they are still fat and full of eggs. For canning they are steam packed in their own juices and salt.

They contain in a 218 g tin

19% fat of which 2.5g is saturated fat, 3.0g is Polyunsaturated, 6.04g Omega 6 and 3.29g Omega 3, 4.6g Monosaturated,
8% cholesterol
19% sodium
10% potassium
21g Protein
20% Calcium
7% Iron.

Your welcome. I prefer the tinned salmon that still has the bones and skin in it. I remove the skin but press the bones into the meat they simply crumble. Most flavour. The tins without the bones or skin have very little flavour. Report It

Actually I should tell you we call it simply Pacific Red Sockeye from the Pacific and Wild Atlantic salmon from the Atlantic. Report It

  • The Ocean
    Salt Water

    both, salmon are hatched in fresh water, grow to maturity in the sea and the swim up to where they hatched in the fresh water to spawn. steelhead trout do the oposite.
    the liquid in the can is water, fish gelitine from the fish and usualy salt.

    They are both used for canning.
