About Red salmon

Red salmon is a common name for sockeye salmon, a salmonid fish. It is eaten as a cooked fish, and is also sold smoked, canned, frozen or otherwise preserved. The flesh is typically deep orange-red, though colour and texture vary with the fish and its handling; the name refers to the fish, not to a red-coloured sauce or seasoning.

Fresh or frozen portions may be sold as fillets, steaks or other cuts, and whole fish may also be available. Cooked flesh is firm and distinctly flavoured. Canned and smoked products are processed forms, and their ingredients and preparation can differ substantially from plain raw fish.
