The Copper River is the birthplace of three wild Alaskan salmon species. These salmon live as adults in the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean eating small crustaceans and zooplankton. Every year (May – September) king, sockeye, and coho return to the Copper River to make the arduous 300-mile migration up the turbulent waters in order to spawn. Because the Copper River is so long and steep (an average elevation of 12 feet per mile), these fish must pack on sufficient fat reserves to fuel their epic journey. As a result, they are rich in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids and flavorful oils. The fish’s distinct regional DNA and life cycle yield the world’s finest salmon and that is why you’ll find it at all Tony’s locations!
