Publisher's Synopsis
As with all fish consumption, sustainability is a major issue. Salmon varieties are usually classified by the ocean in which they are located. In the Pacific they are considered part of the genus Oncorhynchus, and in the Atlantic they belong to the genus Salmo. Salmon flesh is typically pink but their color can range from red to orange. The chinook and sockeye varieties are fattier than pink and chum, favorites for steaks and fillets, while coho falls somewhere in the middle.
