The Rare White King Salmon

There was a time when crimson alone ruled the dining table - crimson flesh, that is. Years ago, many fishermen gave little thought to the white king salmon. The pale flesh didn't make the same visual impression, and many assumed the flavor was inferior. It was inexpensive, but not particularly prized.

My, how things have changed. Chefs and home cooks have come to appreciate this rare treat. The demand for its delicate flavor now rivals the popularity of other king salmon Alaska fishermen have harvested for years. This variety of fish roams the same waters as its red-fleshed twin, yet only about one in every 100 fish mysteriously manifests the pale flesh. The rarity adds to the mystique, keeping this variety in high demand for use in fine dining or Alaska smoked salmon.
