When preparing your gift basket, you have many different choices. Your first is between two different types of salmon fillets, wild caught salmon, or farm raised salmon. Both are the Alaskan salmon that you know and love, but there are some subtle differences.

Fished off the coast of Alaska, wild caught salmon was allowed to grow and thrive in the crisp ocean. Some believe that this makes wild caught salmon a healthier choice for you and the environment, as this is the way salmon has always been fished.

Farm raised salmon is the less expensive option. It still contains the health benefits of all salmon, but grew to maturity in a tank, and not in a wild. This does not compromise its taste however, or its vibrant, exciting color.

You also have the chance to give many other exciting Alaskan smoked salmon gifts, along with fillets. First, there is canned smoked salmon. This will last longer than fresh fillets, while retaining the fantastic taste. It’s also great for preparing a quick meal.

Smoked salmon spreads are a great way to get that fresh Atlantic salmon taste blended with other amazing flavors. And if you’re often out, try smoked salmon sticks. They’re a great and quick way to have a protein rich, energy boosting snack that tastes great.

Your Alaskan smoked salmon gifts can be as varied as the tastes and personalities of your friends. There’s something for everyone, and each product captures the same amazing flavor and bold color that you can expect from Alaskan smoked salmon.
