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.
