Hy-Vee upholds strict standards to provide the best fish and shellfish.
Hy-Vee is a leader in its commitment to provide top-quality, sustainable seafood. In 1998, Hy-Vee became one of the first grocers to employ its own U.S. Department of Commerce (USDC) lot inspector to gurantee the quality of all of Hy-Vee’s fresh seafood. Rigorous inspections go beyond government requirements to ensure you receive only the best seafood. And in 2017, Hy-Vee became the first Midwest retailer to source 100% of its fresh and frozen seafood from environmentally responsible sources.
Quality
All Hy-Vee seafood with the Responsible Choice label was caught or farmed in a sustainable way that protects ecosystems. When you purchase seafood that is responsibly farmed or harvested, you are supporting best practices that will help ensure a healthy supply of seafood for generations to come.

Keta and Other Alaskan Salmon
Alaskan Coho Salmon
Every year, salmon travel hundreds of miles upstream (called a run) to spawn the next generation. Along the way, fishermen harvest the wild fish. Keta salmon usually make their run from late June or July through mid-October. That’s when you’ll find fresh, wild-caught fish at Hy-Vee. Other species have shorter runs, typically from late June or July through August and September. Other wild-caught varieties at Hy-Vee include:
Alaskan Pink Salmon
Alaskan Sockeye Salmon

“
Fresh keta is a very reasonably priced wild salmon. Because keta are so plentiful and are smaller fish, their cost is significantly lower than king or sockeye. It is also a salmon with a lower fat content, and is a great fish to dress up with your favorite marinades and seasonings because of that. Because keta is one of the smaller wild salmon, the fillets will also be thin and will grill up much quicker than the bigger wild salmon.”

Sometimes called silverbrite, keta salmon is firm with a light, mild flavor and less oil than other salmon varieties. Because of its neutral flavor, it pairs well with bold seasonings, such as sweet and spicy sauces. Like other salmon, keta has omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower heart rate and blood pressure and may help prevent heart disease. One serving of keta salmon can also have up to 26 grams of protein.

Learn the basics about catfish flavor, texture and health benefits.
Catfish has a firm texture and is less flaky when cooked than most fish. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor similar to tilapia, and pairs well with strong spices and seasonings. Farmed catfish have a more consistent flavor than wild because they’re raised in a controlled habitat with an unchanging diet. A serving of catfish has about 18 grams of protein (nearly a third of the FDA recommendation of about 50 grams per day). It also has vitamin B12, which assists in red blood cell formation and nerve cell function.
