Wild salmon peaks from May to September. During this window, the fish return to rivers and have the highest fat content and firmest texture.
For sustainability, wild Atlantic salmon is currently very limited and often protected, making wild Pacific salmon (such as Sockeye or Chinook) a more common sustainable choice. Farmed salmon is available year-round; when buying farmed, look for RSPCA Assured or ASC certifications to ensure higher welfare standards and better environmental management regarding sea lice and feed sourcing.
