One of the stars of Alaska is the brilliant Coho, the Silver Salmon. The mildly flavored Coho has a brightly colored flesh that is leaner in texture than that of King Salmon. While market weights range between 6 to 8 lbs, the fish of the Cordova Direct program with Capt. Tim consistently offers fish above 10 lbs. Larger Cohos tend to be a wider fillet and are readily apt to accept any cooking methods warranted by the chef. The slightly lowered fat content of Coho lends itself to a silky mouthfeel that doesn’t over encapsulate other ingredients. It is a perfect species for house-smoked applications and house-cured representation. It finds a home on the grill, in the broiler, simply sauteed, or even sous vide. Its vibrant coloration pops in crudo, tartare, sushi, and sashimi. Coho has a reputation as one of the best flavors in the Salmon kingdom.
