About Fish, salmon, chum, raw

Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), also known as keta, dog, or silverbrite salmon, is a species of wild Pacific salmon ranging widely across the northern Pacific. It has paler, pinkish flesh and a milder, more delicate flavor and lower fat content than richer salmon like sockeye or king, which makes it both economical and versatile. Chum salmon is a lean, high-quality protein, rich in omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium.

Its firm, light flesh takes well to grilling, baking, poaching, and smoking, and it is widely sold canned and used in patties, chowders, and salads. Chum is especially valued for its roe, the large, glistening orange eggs cured as the prized salmon caviar known as ikura in Japanese cuisine. Because it is lean, it benefits from a marinade or a glaze and gentle cooking so it stays moist. Choose firm, fresh-smelling fillets with a bright color, and keep salmon well chilled, using fresh fish within a day or two or freezing it.
