Coho

Coho salmon is a species of Pacific salmon, a type of fish. It is an oily fish, known for its firm texture and rich flavor. Coho salmon can be found wild-caught in the North Pacific Ocean and is also farmed in some regions.

Coho salmon is primarily used as a protein source in foods. It is commonly found in canned or smoked forms, and used in dishes like chowders, pâtés, and seafood salads. Its distinct flavor makes it a popular choice for gourmet and specialty food products.

Coho salmon is a source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various vitamins and minerals. Like other fish, it can contain mercury, though coho salmon generally has lower levels compared to larger predatory fish. The FDA advises certain groups, like pregnant women and young children, to limit consumption of some types of fish due to mercury content. Coho salmon is not subject to specific additive regulations as it is a whole food.
