Wild Alaskan Sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka). MSC certified. Documented omega-3 content approximately 1,900 mg per 3oz serving. Bright red flesh from natural astaxanthin derived from krill and shrimp diet. Alaska harvest season: June–September.
Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fishery. Wild-caught in Alaskan waters — not farmed. No added water, phosphates, or preservatives. Single ingredient. Frozen at sea to maintain quality.
Vital Choice sources from Alaska Native-owned and independent fishing operations. No third-party Fairtrade certification specific to seafood.
'Wild' designation is legally protected in the US — farmed salmon cannot be sold as wild-caught. Sockeye's red flesh colour is natural astaxanthin from diet, not added colouring (farmed Atlantic salmon typically receives synthetic astaxanthin feed additives). Omega-3 content figure is from published nutritional analysis of the species.
