Copper River Salmon at WildFin

Copper River Salmon at WildFin!

Every May, the first salmon of the season return to the rivers and streams of Alaska with the Copper River being the first. 

This year, Copper River Salmon season kicked off in Cordova, Alaska on May 17th.  On May 18th, at 6:30 a.m., the first salmon arrived in Seattle.  As part of the tradition to celebrate the first catch, Alaska Airlines hosted the 9th annual Copper Chef Cook-off at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.  Three chefs squared off in a competition to create their best salmon dish.  The chefs were given 30 minutes to prepare their creation and present them to the judges who voted on the winner.  Our own Executive Chef, Chris Bryant and his WildFin chef team, took top Honors this year.  

Copper River Salmon are bright silvery salmon with a bright red flesh, a firm texture, and a rich flavor that makes them a very delicious dining experience whose popularity is rapidly growing.  Copper River Salmon is now being featured in all 3 WildFin locations.  Discriminating palates around the nation anticipate Copper River salmon each spring because of its distinctive flavor, its Omega 3 fatty acid content and the fact that it’s sustainably harvested — so you can feel good about eating it.
