Wild Caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Patties

Bristol Bay's cold, pristine glacier-fed waters create ideal conditions for exceptional wild salmon. Unlike farmed salmon, wild sockeye eat a natural diet of krill and zooplankton, giving them their rich red color, firm texture, and high levels of brain-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Our salmon is commercially caught, immediately bled, and flash-frozen at peak freshness to exceed FDA parasite-kill guidelines. However, we do not officially certify it as sashimi-grade. We recommend cooking it to an internal temperature of 145°F.

Grilling is our top recommendation for showcasing sockeye's rich flavor and firm texture. Pan-searing skin-side down in butter or oil for a crispy crust is another favorite. Because wild salmon is leaner than farmed, cook it to medium (around 125°F-130°F) to prevent it from drying out.

Our salmon is hand-trimmed and deboned by our processors, whether you order 6oz portions or whole fillets. However, because this is a natural wild product, a tiny pin bone can occasionally remain. We recommend running your fingers over the flesh before cooking and using tweezers to remove any if found.

You can order wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon directly from Popsie Fish Co and have it shipped to your door, flash-frozen and packed in dry ice. We catch it ourselves in Bristol Bay, Alaska, so you're buying straight from the fishing family — no middleman, no grocery-store thaw-and-refreeze. Choose 6oz portions or whole fillets, and shipping is free on every box.

Wild-caught sockeye eats a natural diet of krill and zooplankton in the cold waters of Bristol Bay, which gives it a deep-red color, firm texture, and high omega-3 content. Farmed salmon is raised in pens on processed feed and is typically softer, fattier, and paler. Our wild sockeye is never given antibiotics, dyes, or feed.

You don't need a fish market nearby. We ship wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon anywhere in the US, packed in dry ice so it arrives at your door frozen solid — usually within 1–2 days. For most customers, that's fresher than the 'fresh' salmon at the local grocery counter, which is often previously frozen, thawed for display, and days from the water. Shipping is free on every box.

Our patties are seasoned with a proprietary blend of sage, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, and cloves. This warm, savory-sweet profile perfectly complements the robust flavor of wild sockeye salmon.

Yes! Our patties are gluten-free and contain no wheat, breadcrumbs, grain fillers, or artificial binders. They are simply wild sockeye salmon and natural spices.

You can cook them directly from frozen with no thawing required! Pan-fry in a little butter or oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side. You can also bake them at 375°F for 14-16 minutes or grill them over a medium-hot flame.

Popsie operates on a 'buy more, save more' model based on total box weight. You can choose any combination of fish species and cuts. The price-per-pound drops automatically for every item in your cart as your total weight reaches the Starter (5 lb), Value (10 lb), Family (15 lb), and Freezer Pack (20 lb) thresholds.

All portions are flash-frozen, vacuum-sealed, and packed in an insulated shipping box with a generous amount of dry ice. We guarantee your seafood will arrive frozen solid to your doorstep, even in the middle of summer.

Because our seafood is vacuum-sealed and flash-frozen at peak freshness, it will maintain premium quality in a standard home freezer for 12 to 18 months. Once thawed in the refrigerator, it should be consumed within 2 to 3 days.

We strongly recommend against refreezing seafood after it has been completely thawed, as this degrades the delicate cell structure and harms the texture and flavor. We recommend thawing only the individual portions you plan to eat within 48 hours.
