Question 1

Is wild Alaskan salmon from Parker's better than grocery store salmon?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most grocery store salmon travels through multiple processors and distributors and may have been out of the water for days before reaching the fish case. Parker's salmon is caught by us, pressure bled and blast frozen on our boat the same day it comes out of the water, and shipped directly to your door with no middlemen. The difference in flavor, color, and texture is immediate and is why most customers never go back to store-bought salmon.

Question 2

What does wild caught salmon mean and why is it better than farmed salmon?

Accepted Answer

Wild caught means the fish lived its entire life in the open ocean, ate a natural diet of krill, small fish, and crustaceans, and was harvested from the wild. It was never raised in a pen, given processed feed or antibiotics, or colored with synthetic dye. Farmed salmon, which makes up the majority of salmon sold in the United States, has a compromised nutritional profile, higher omega-6 content, and relies on crowded conditions and chemical intervention. Parker's wild Alaskan salmon is the real thing, exactly as nature made it.

Question 3

What species of wild Alaskan salmon does Parker's sell — King, Sockeye, or Coho?

Accepted Answer

We offer wild Alaskan King salmon (Chinook) and Sockeye (Red) depending on the season. Copper River King and Sockeye are available during the Copper River season in May and June and are among the most prized salmon in the world for their exceptional fat content and flavor. Each species has a distinct flavor profile. Contact us if you need help choosing the right one for your needs.

Question 4

Is Parker's wild Alaskan salmon sustainably caught?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alaska's fisheries are governed by the sustained yield principle, written directly into the Alaska State Constitution, requiring fish populations to be managed scientifically to ensure healthy runs for future generations. Alaska wild salmon is one of the most sustainably managed seafood sources on the planet. Parker's uses hook-and-line trolling, the most selective commercial salmon fishing method available, with the lowest bycatch rate of any large-scale technique.

Question 5

What is pressure bleeding and why does it make salmon taste better?

Accepted Answer

Pressure bleeding uses a precise jet of clean, cold seawater to flush blood completely out of a fish's circulatory system immediately after it is caught. We insert a small pipette into the bloodline and use controlled water pressure to push blood out through the gill area until the flow runs completely clear. This must be done within minutes of the fish coming aboard while the heart still has reflex activity — which is why large commercial net operations cannot do it. Blood left in salmon flesh is the primary cause of fishy taste, dull color, soft texture, and shortened shelf life. Fully pressure bled salmon tastes cleaner, looks brighter, and keeps significantly longer in your freezer. We do this to every single fish, no exceptions.

Question 6

What does blast frozen at sea mean, and is frozen salmon better than fresh?

Accepted Answer

Blast freezing drives the core temperature of the fish down to well below zero in a matter of hours — so fast that ice crystals cannot form inside the flesh cells. Standard freezing creates ice crystals that rupture cell walls, causing the mushy texture common in low-quality frozen fish. Blast freezing locks the fish in a perfect state with texture, flavor, and nutrition fully intact. Parker's blast freezes on the boat at sea while the fish is still at peak quality. Properly sea-frozen salmon is superior to the fresh fish at most grocery store counters, which may have been out of the water for a week or more. Our frozen fish is the standard that fresh fish should be held to.

Question 7

Is Parker's wild Alaskan salmon sushi grade and safe to eat raw?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every Parker's salmon is pressure bled immediately after catch to remove blood that drives bacterial growth, then blast frozen at sea to well below zero the same day it is caught. The FDA recommends fish intended for raw consumption be frozen to -4°F for a minimum of seven days or to -31°F until solid. Our blast freezing process meets and exceeds those temperatures at sea, at peak freshness. The result is sushi grade wild Alaskan salmon ready to eat raw, cure into gravlax, slice for poke bowls, or cook any way you like.

Question 8

Does Parker's salmon contain preservatives, additives, or artificial coloring?

Accepted Answer

Never. Our salmon is a single ingredient: wild Alaskan salmon. Nothing added, nothing artificial. The vibrant color comes entirely from the natural astaxanthin in the salmon's wild diet — the same pigment found in krill and crustaceans that wild salmon eat. No synthetic dye, no carbon monoxide treatment, no additives of any kind.

Question 9

Do I have to subscribe to buy Parker's salmon, or can I place a one-time order?

You can do either. Parker's offers both one-time purchases and a flexible subscription for customers who want regular deliveries on their schedule.

Question 11

How is Parker's salmon packaged and shipped to stay frozen?

Accepted Answer

Every order ships vacuum-sealed, individually portioned, and packed in an insulated box with dry ice to arrive completely frozen. We ship via UPS and send tracking information as soon as your order goes out. We stand behind every shipment — if anything arrives in less than perfect condition, contact us and we will make it right.

Question 13

Which states does Parker's Wild Alaskan Seafood ship to?

Accepted Answer

We ship to all 48 contiguous states. If you have questions about delivery to a specific location, contact us and we will do our best to help.

Question 14

How long does frozen wild Alaskan salmon stay good in the freezer?

Accepted Answer

Parker's pressure bled, blast frozen salmon stays at peak quality for 12 to 18 months or more when kept at 0°F in its original vacuum-sealed packaging. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator overnight rather than in warm water.

Question 15

What is the best way to thaw wild Alaskan salmon?

Accepted Answer

Move portions from the freezer to the refrigerator the night before you plan to cook them — they will be perfectly thawed and ready in the morning. If you are short on time, place the sealed vacuum bag in cold water for about an hour. Avoid thawing in warm water or the microwave as this negatively affects the texture of the fish.

Question 16

Why does Parker's sell wild Alaskan salmon pet treats?

Accepted Answer

Because pets are family. We already had access to the highest quality wild Alaskan salmon on earth and saw no reason why the same standard we hold for our own table should not extend to the animals who share our homes. Most commercial pet treats are loaded with fillers, artificial preservatives, and unrecognizable ingredients. Our wild Alaskan salmon pet treats are made from a single source ingredient — the same fish we eat — with nothing artificial added.

Question 17

What are the health benefits of wild Alaskan salmon treats for dogs?

Accepted Answer

Wild Alaskan salmon is one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, which dogs cannot produce on their own. Regular omega-3 supplementation in dogs supports a shinier coat and reduced shedding, less itchy or inflamed skin and fewer hot spots, improved joint mobility especially in older dogs, better cardiovascular function, stronger immune response, and sharper cognitive function as dogs age. Parker's salmon treats contain no artificial additives, no fillers, and no unrecognizable ingredients — the same philosophy that drives our seafood for people drives our treats for dogs.

Question 18

Are Parker's wild salmon dog treats safe for dogs with food allergies or sensitivities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wild salmon is a natural, single-source protein that is gentle on digestion and suitable for most dogs, including those with sensitivities to common proteins like chicken or beef. Salmon is one of the most recommended novel proteins for dogs with food allergies. Introduce any new treat gradually and consult your veterinarian if your dog has specific health conditions or dietary restrictions.

Question 19

Can cats eat Parker's wild salmon treats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cats are obligate carnivores and wild salmon is an excellent protein source for them. The omega-3 benefits apply to cats just as they do to dogs. Our treats are enjoyed by both cats and dogs.

Question 20

Why do Parker's pet treats use wild salmon instead of farmed salmon?

Accepted Answer

Farmed salmon has a lower omega-3 profile due to its artificial feed, may contain residual antibiotics, and lacks the natural astaxanthin that makes wild salmon nutritionally rich. If you are giving your dog a treat specifically for its health benefits, it should come from wild fish. Parker's treats always use wild Alaskan salmon — the same fish we eat ourselves.

Question 21

What is freeze drying and why is it better than dehydrated or baked dog treats?

Accepted Answer

Freeze drying is the gold standard of food preservation. The salmon is frozen solid, then placed in a low-pressure chamber where moisture is removed through sublimation — ice converts directly to vapor without ever becoming liquid. No heat is used. Research shows freeze drying retains over 60% more nutrients than dehydration or cooking. Heat-based methods break down delicate omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, degrade vitamins, and alter protein structure. Freeze drying preserves the raw nutrition, natural flavor, and cellular integrity of the fish almost entirely intact. The treats are shelf-stable without artificial preservatives — moisture removal itself keeps them fresh. Parker's freeze dried salmon treats are as close to a wild Alaskan salmon fillet as a dog treat can possibly be.

Question 22

Why does Parker's make salmon dog treats in small batches, and does it make a difference?

Accepted Answer

It makes every difference. Small batch production means we control every step personally — we know exactly which salmon went into every batch, exactly when it was made, and exactly how it was handled from the moment it came off our boat to the moment it goes into a package headed to your dog. Large-scale commercial pet treat production is a volume game where ingredients come from multiple sources and quality control is a system rather than a set of hands that care. Parker's is a family operation. Our name is on every bag. The same fish we pressure bleed and blast freeze for your family goes into the treats we make for your dog. Small batches mean fresher product, tighter quality control, and a level of care that cannot exist at industrial scale. Our treats are genuinely single-source — we know where every fish came from because we caught it ourselves. No supply chain mystery, no unknown processors, no shortcuts.
