Sockeye salmon fillets are firm, dense, and have a rich, intense red color and bold flavor. They are thinner and more compact than fillets from larger fish species, such as Atlantic salmon, due to sockeye's smaller size. Sockeye salmon is a good source of protein and vitamin D, and it's also high in omega-3s. It pairs well with herbs, citrus zest, peppery spices, and lighter red Burgundy wines.
Red's Best uses advanced freezer technology to super-freeze their locally caught fish and shellfish to temperatures below -61 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of 24 hours. They perform this process as it is necessary to reduce the risk of consuming raw, wild seafood. Red's Best commercial super freezer accelerates the freezing process, and preserves the texture of the proteins by reducing the expansion of water molecules within the flesh of the seafood.
