Salmon season at Hy-Vee
HY-VEE MAKES IT EASY to enjoy this prized catch, offering seasonal fresh and frozen Alaskan wild-caught and farm-raised varieties all year. Each species contains omega-3 fatty acids for heart health and protein for energy. Salmon vary in color, flavor and texture depending on species and diet, but taste similar to fresh tuna or trout. Find which salmon suits your family’s taste by making simple recipes with a different species each time.
THE WILD ALASKA SALMON RUN is a
trip home for salmon. After 4 to 5 years of
ocean-living, salmon swim often thousands of miles to their fresh water birthplaces to produce the next generation (spawn). Along the route (the “run”), spectators, fish industry workers and natural predators stand by to watch, harvest and catch the salmon. Most adult salmon die after spawning, leaving only the newly hatched fish to head to the ocean and repeat the cycle. This makes fresh salmon a precious find.
