It's the Cadillac of salmon, and its arrival is already setting record prices.
The expensive fish in question is Copper River Salmon, which actually comes in three varieties: Copper River King Salmon, sockeye salmon, and coho salmon.
The first wild caught Copper River King Salmon of 2017 set a record price of $50 per pound, according to Alaska.com, when it arrived in Seattle on May 19. Note: that's the price that restaurants across the country pay. Consumers can easily expect to spend far more, in fish shops, grocery stores and on restaurant menus.
For the past decade or so, Copper River salmon has enjoyed the seafood spotlight, thanks in part to a marketing campaign by the Copper River/Prince William Sound Marketing Association.
