Orca Bay Salmon

As part of our continuing efforts to provide high quality products with a price point that our customers will like, we are happy to have found another source for salmon.

The Washington-based Orca Bay sources their pink salmon from the northeast Pacific Waters (FAO area 67) off the coast of Alaska, Canada and Washington.  It is Non-GMO Project Verified and is a "Common Sense Seafood," caught sustainably.  Seafood Watch rates it as a "Best Choice".  OceanWise recommends it, and it's certified by the Marine Stewardship Council.


Salmon is renowned for it's Omega-3 content, including EPA and DHA fatty acids, which has the associated benefits for the cardiovascular system, brain and eye health, joint support, and more.  Regular salmon intake has also been associated with decreased risk of certain types of cancers


Lesser known is that four ounces of salmon provides about 62% of the Daily Value (DV) for the mineral Selenium. Good selenium intake is associated with reducing inflammation of Rheumatoid Arthritis, lower risk of prostate cancer, and works with Vitamin E as an antioxidant.

Their premium fish is frozen immediately after harvest at the very peak of freshness. The product is then expressed to Orca Bay's state of the art, climate-controlled facility where it is skillfully portioned and packed with an unwavering eye towards quality.  Try Orca Bay's wild caught, pink salmon for only $8.99 for 10oz.
