Wild California King Salmon
King salmon—also known as Chinook salmon—is the largest and most prized of the Pacific salmon species. Its naturally high oil content creates a rich, buttery flavor and tender texture that chefs and seafood lovers consistently seek out.
At Giovanni's Fish Market in Morro Bay, we carefully hand-trim each portion before vacuum sealing it to help preserve freshness during shipment. Whether you're planning a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, King salmon is an excellent choice for grilling, roasting, broiling, smoking, or pan-searing.
Cooking Suggestions
King salmon's natural richness means simple preparation often produces the best results. Season lightly with olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper, fresh herbs, or lemon, then grill, roast, or pan-sear until just cooked through.
