King salmon were transplanted to the Toltén River in Chile in the 1990s. The stock was transplanted from the famous oil & Omega-3-rich salmon stocks of the Columbia River. By the early 2000's, this salmon population had multiplied, and was opened to commercial fishing. It is the first and only fishery for wild king salmon in the southern hemisphere. Only 32 artisanal boats are permitted to fish, and the supply is limited.Patagonia King Fillet has a pure, and mild but rich flavor. When cooked, the fillet develops a flaky texture. These are PBI (Pin-Bone-In) fillet portions. Patagonia kings get quite large, and so the average size of the fillet portions is also large, averaging 1 pound apiece.

An average serving size of king salmon would be one half pound, however because of the richness of king salmon, a smaller portion size may be desired.
Wild king salmon hold an abundant amount of high-quality protein, along with very high levels of heart-smart Omega-3 fatty acids. They also abound in vitamin D and the beneficial red-orange, carotenoid-class antioxidant pigment called astaxanthin.

One of Chile's most famous wild king salmon runs was started in the 1990's by transplanting king salmon from the Pacific Northwest to the pure, glacier-fed waters of Patagonia. By the early 2000's, this salmon stock soared in numbers, and thereafter, became the first-ever commercial fishery for wild king salmon in the southern hemisphere.
These wild Patagonian kings stems from the Toltén River in Chile, in the Araucania region of Chile. This fishery has a limited season from Dec 15th through the last day of February. Only 32 artisanal boats are permitted to fish for wild Patagonian king salmon each season.
The commercial fishing salmon run is only 6.8km from the mouth of the Toltén river estuary to old Toltén upriver. The fish are initially bled, cleaned and iced 500m from the landing site. The fish are then transported to the processing plant where they receive a second cleaning, are boxed and re-iced & ready for shipment.Shipping
