With wild salmon season having ended a few months ago, all we’ve got are the farm-raised fish for the winter, right?

Not necessarily. North Pacific Trading Co. distributes boneless, vacuum-packed fillets of wild Alaskan keta (chum) salmon - moderate in fat, and delicate in flavor - that are flash-frozen at sea for freshness.

So, this winter, you don’t have to buy the farmed.

Price: About $4 per pound (average weight 2 pounds).

Available: At area Rosauers, Yoke’s and Super 1 stores.
