Salmon Coho or Silver Salmon have a meat color ranging from pink to a deep reddish-orange. The flesh of wild Coho is more deeply colored than that of the farmed fish. It has a large flakey texture and a rich, smooth flavor. Wild Coho tend to be leaner than Chinook or Sockeye.
Coho inhabit the waters off the northwest coast of the U.S., British Columbia and Alaska.
They can reach sizes of up to 25 pounds but typically range between 5-15 pounds. This particular Coho has developed a hooked nose with teeth used for doing battle during spawning. All rights reserved.
