No, sockeye. There are folks who won’t eat anything but sockeye.

Five species of Pacific salmon thrive in the North Pacific waters of the US and Canada: chinook (also called king), coho, pink, sockeye, and chum salmon.

Chum/Keta is the least favorite/cheapest. Sockeye is usually considered the prime fish. King/chinook is the largest.

Coho are also delicious, but were seriously overfished when I was a kid. We used to literally fill the bottom of the boat with “bluebacks” (first year coho) and have huge fish roasts. Those little fishies were so sweet and buttery tasting...

Chum salmon is also called dog salmon by some. I'm shocked at times to see stores selling it. At one time it was only used for pet food.

Pink or Humpie is the cheapest salmon, followed by Chum. Only Huppies are caught with a seine, all others by gillnet or hook.

King salmon are preferred over Sockeye by most, as they are richer in flavor. Sockeye are more plentiful and therefore less expensive; Reds are also easier to handle being only 5.2 lb on average, while Kings can be up to 50 lbs.

Smoked Coho is usually considered better then other smoked salmon varieties. Lightly smoked King Lox, is preferred for a a morning snack with a fresh bagel and cream cheese.

Ive long believed that the US, and apparently now Canada, should have blocked immigration from the homeland of the Some.

Some people come here and develop a number of bizarre beliefs that occasionally infect society and eventually as time goes on we all have to suffer because of the actions and beliefs of Some stupid peoples children.
