Sure all the time here in Vancouver both fresh in season and frozen. Cheap
too as the market wants to see that red colour

That's correct, I had a brain fart in my first post and mentioned chum as
being coloured and white both. I shouldn't have included chum in the
"coloured", I should have proof read my post.

Otherwise yes King (Spring), Coho, and Sockeye would be the coloured market
bought wild salmon you see. We see pinks here as well but it is very cheap
and usually ends up in cans or even pet food. They are quite good within 24
hours of harvest and are often smoked by the locals.


If they were chums or white Springs (Kings) they would be white and not
pink.
