Wild Fish Story You’ll never have to eat farmed fish again Great Glacier Salmon is a family-run fishery, on the Stikine River, in northwestern British Columbia just below the Alaska border. It is the only fish plant on the Stikine, and is federally licensed and HAACP certified. The only way to access the plant in the pristine wilderness is by boat or floatplane. Despite being told by many that it couldn’t be done, the plant was constructed in the mid 1980’s. The mountainside was scaled, a creek above was dammed and water flows down a 5 inch pipe with sufficient force to power a generator built of spare parts. Electricity is used to power freezers in the middle of the wild. Most gill net operators in the major rivers (Fraser and Skeena) drift with their nets in the water for 8-10 hours, hauling in drowned fish but at Great Glacier Salmon, the fishers drift for only 15 minutes at a time, bringing live salmon aboard. Endangered steelhead can then be released. The live fish are bled on board and delivered three times a day to the plant. Within 24 hours, the fish have been cut and frozen. This method is unique to the commercial salmon fishery in B.C. - and the proof is in the taste of the fish. This is sashimi-grade, #1 smoking quality salmon, and it’s WILD.
Eastern Ontario fish lovers can now eat this top quality wild salmon with no added hormones, colour or medications. We’re bringing in boneless, skin-on salmon fillets and portions cut from Sockeye, Coho and Redspring salmon - all individually quick frozen and vacuum-packed. Though not smoked at the plant, we also offer sliced smoked salmon, sockeye and coho, in various size vacuum packages from an artisinal smokehouse. The advantages of wild fish are well known: a natural colour and texture, no medication or GM feeds or pollutants. You get all the right proportions of EFA’s, polyunsaturated Omega 3 fatty acids. You will never have to eat farmed fish ever again! FAST FACTS: Why salmon is pink: Wild salmon eat krill, a pink shrimp-like shellfish that colours their flesh naturally. Farmed salmon are given food with artificial dyes to make them appealing. FAT FACTS: A 6 oz. portion of farmed Atlantic Salmon contains 21 grams of fat, including 3.7 grams Omega 3 fats and 3-5 grams saturated fats. The same size portion of wild Pacific Coho contains 7 grams of fat, 1.8 grams of which are Omega 3 fats. Call today to find out more about Great Glacier Salmon: 613-257-8362 |
