Cooper River Salmon season officially started May 17, 2012, when an Alaska Airlines flight brought in about 20,000 pounds of this prized fish.

What’s the fuss over Copper River Salmon? One taste of this firm red fish, with its rich & nutty flavor and you will understand why food lovers relish the four or so weeks of the year that this fish is available fresh for the year.

With the season coming to a halt rather soon, you may want to take this opportunity to make a trip to your local fishmonger for one last piece of this season’s Cooper River.

If you miss out, there is always next year!
