Sockeye salmon is a species of wild salmon found in the northern pacific ocean and the rivers that feed into it. They are fresh water as juveniles but migrate to the ocean. You may also see them called red salmon or blueback salmon. Sockeye salmon is mainly wild-caught in Alaska and sold in the United States either fresh, frozen, or canned. This salmon is one of the most sustainable options for those who live in the United States, and especially on the Atlantic as Atlantic wild salmon has been overfished and is no longer a sustainable option for consumption.
