Copper River Salmon Fillet
Seasons / Availability
The Copper River season runs from mid-May to September and is carefully monitored by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
A 3.5oz fillet of wild Alaska salmon contains more vitamin D than a glass of milk. Omega 3s ar derived from the layer of omega-3 fatty acids found between the skin and the underside of the fillet. Omega-3s give salmon their renowned succulence and provide essential nutrients that benefit vital internal functions.

The Copper River salmon runs are all carefully managed for long-term sustainability by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). ADF&G monitors sonar counters and fish wheels at several points along the Copper River and counts each salmon heading up the river to ensure an adequate number migrate to spawning grounds to reproduce each year. ADF&G biologists also perform aerial surveys of fishing grounds to count the number of migrating fish throughout the season.
