24. What is the best salmon to
eat?
All five species of salmon are wonderful
to eat but they also have their own distinctive flavor. My personal
favorite is the King salmon, or Chinook, because it has the most
flavors due to its high oil content. Most people seem to prefer
the Sockeye salmon or Red salmon because of its mild flavor and
deep red color. The Silver salmon or Cohoe salmon is very similar
to the King salmon except the flavor is milder. The Chum salmon
or Keta salmon is very good fish for the barbeque because of its
light color and oil content. Last but not least is the Pink salmon.
If caught in the salt water and taken care of properly, the Pink
salmon has the flavor and texture of a fresh trout.
