I am from Alaska, so you can imagine, I have some strong preferences on the type of salmon. Silver salmon, sometimes called Coho are my favorite. They are a little harder to find, but well worth it if you can. To me, they taste the best! Red or sockeye salmon are also a favorite. We ate these the most growing. King is also ok. My least favorite is pink or chum salmon. In Alaska, these are referred to as "Dog Salmon". Yes, that was what got fed to the dogs.
