King Salmon Collars & Tails Box

4.5lbs

Product Description

This tips-to-tails box includes two unique cuts of king salmon: collars and bone-in tail portions. These end cuts allow us to make maximum use of the limited and highly-prized king salmon, while giving our members an opportunity to save on this wild delicacy. The collar is perhaps the most succulent, tender part of a king salmon. Cut just behind the gills, it includes the collarbone and fatty, rich belly meat. Like a chicken wing, it has cartilage and bones to work around, but the juicy and delicate morsels make it well worth it. The tail portions, on the other hand, are unique in that they are split lengthwise through the spine, and contain both the vertebrae and occasional rib bone. These bones are easily removed after cooking, and have the added benefit of keeping the fish especially moist. You can use these tails in any recipe for salmon that is roasted, grilled, poached, steamed, sous vide, broiled, or smoked. Simply skip the direction to remove pin bones, and instead, remove the spine bones just before serving. Note that neither cut lends itself well to raw preparations due to bone placement. Expect to receive 2 collars and 4 to 6 tail portions per box.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are one-time boxes?

    One-time boxes are 4-5 lb boxes of seafood that we make available to our members as a special perk of their membership. The seafood we offer as a one-time box may be from a fishery in a different part of the country (think Maine scallops!) or a special cut of seafood we already source (think halibut cheeks or king salmon collars). It may be a value-added seafood product we've created, like our Grill-Ready Salmon Burgers, or smoked sablefish. Lastly, it might be some of the species we include in our subscriptions in cases where we have a surplus of delicious premium quality seafood after our subscription boxes are packed.

  • Do members get a discount on one-time boxes?

    Yes! All of our members receive a 10% discount on one-time boxes. Simply log in to your member account before checkout to have your discount automatically applied.

  • Can I just order one type of seafood?

    We often offer a single species in our one-time boxes, in addition to mixed species boxes. We are not currently customizing any one-time boxes.

  • Can I add a personalized gift message for my recipient?

    Yes! During checkout you will be asked if you want to leave a gift message for your recipient. One week before delivery, we will send your gift recipient an email with delivery information and your gift message.

  • What are the denominations of your Digital Gift Cards?

    We offer digital gift cards for $50, $100, $150, or $250.
