This depends on your personal taste. Sockeye salmon is a wild fish with a rich taste and firm texture, whereas Atlantic salmon is farmed, tends to be more affordable, has a higher oil content and a smoother texture. If you're after buttery salmon flakes that melt in your mouth Atlantic salmon is the one to pick. For a healthy eating option, try coho salmon, which is lower in fat and has a milder flavour than other salmon varieties.
