Shopping for Salmon

Salmon is a fish with more uses than you might first think. You can make everything from salmon burnt ends and hot honey-smoked salmon to a simple marinated salmon tossed on the grill. In order to have the tastiest outcome, it helps to know how to shop for good salmon.

First, your nose knows! Salmon shouldn’t smell nasty or “fishy” but more like ocean air. The look of the salmon should be moist. Don’t buy pieces with brown spots or bruised skin. The salmon should have a vibrant light pink to red color.

Finally, if you buy frozen salmon, do not choose packages with ice crystals (freezer burn). In the refrigerator case, the salmon packing should be tightly wrapped or sealed by a vacuum.

PitMaster’s Memo

There are several varieties of salmon with differences in flavor and texture. For example, King salmon is bold flavored, and slightly sweet. You can recognize Sockeye salmon by its orange-red hue. This is a “fishy” fish with a firm texture, so it holds up on the grill.

Coho Salmon is fatty with a mild taste. Pink salmon is the most common type on the market, but it’s usually canned. Atlantic salmon have pinkish-orange meat. They are not too fishy in flavor and cook up with a flaky finish.
