Worried about your body degrading while in quarantine? Nutrition experts are recommending that you eat healthily, avoid junk foods, and especially avoid high-calorie processed meats.

Fish is becoming one of the best meals to eat when grounded at home due to its high nutritional value and the fact that it is filling while not fattening.

Salmon continues to be one of Americans’ most popular fish choices. In the USA, we are lucky, as the fact that Alaska is one of us means that the lower 48 get to enjoy perhaps the best salmon in the world.

Alaskan Wild Salmon, unlike so-called Atlantic salmon or others such as Norwegian, Scottish or Chilean salmon, is not a farmed salmon. Farmed salmon are mostly given colored feed and antibiotics to give them their color, unlike wild salmon, which develop theirs naturally.

Wild Alaskan salmon are born in the rivers formed in the hundreds of fjords of Alaska, and which, as they grow, descend downstream to reach the Alaskan Sea where they mature while swimming and feeding on crustaceans (hence its reddish meat color).

When salmon is adult they return to the same freshwater rivers where they were born, and it is only at this time that they are caught, as wild salmon populations in Alaska are protected by a rigorous legal framework, to respond to population fluctuations and adjust catches accordingly.

Wild salmon has properties that farm-raised salmon do not have. Here is a rundown of the benefits of wild salmon:
