Why We’re Wild About Wild-Caught Sockeye Salmon

When we started offering Wild-Caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon as part of our regular product lineup 4 years ago, we expected our customers would be happy to have a delicious new option at a low price… but we honestly didn’t expect the response to be so overwhelming. As it turns out, you people really, really like great seafood at great value.

But there’s more to Zaycon Fresh’s Alaskan Sockeye Salmon than just it’s taste or its price. Salmon is also a nutritional powerhouse, packing protein and heart- and brain-healthy omega-3 acids into a low-fat food. And when it comes to our salmon, there’s also that whole “Wild-Caught” part of the equation.

Zaycon Fresh Sockeye Salmon is caught in the frigid waters of the Pacific Ocean near the Alaskan coast. Much of the salmon you are served in restaurants or on grocery store shelves comes from… a fish farm. The fact is, not all salmon are created equal in terms of nutrition.

Let’s break it down so you can see why our Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon is not only a great value, but a great choice for your healthy lifestyle:

Wild Caught Salmon…

  • Has More Calcium than Farmed Salmon
  • Has More Iron than Farmed Salmon
  • Is Actually LOWER in Sodium than Farmed Fish
  • Has Nearly Equal Protein as Farm-Raised Salmon
  • Has Half the Fat as Farmed Salmon

Farmed salmon also has much higher levels of PCBs, toxic man-made chemicals which may be especially dangerous to the people who need salmon’s omega-3 acids the most: youngsters with developing brains and pregnant moms.

The American Heart Association recommends people eat salmon at least twice a week thanks to its nutritional benefits. With our Wild-Caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon on sale for just $6.99/lb., that’s some medical advice you can afford to follow. And it even tastes great.
