Gaby Pillows The Chinnok Salmon

The Chinook or King Salmon is a highly prized fish of the Salmon Family. Native to the cold coastal waters of the Pacific, ranging from Northern California to Alaska, it has also been introduced to the Great Lakes. Renowned among anglers and chefs alike, Chinook Salmon are renowned for their long journeys back to their birthplace for spawning, during which they change color from silver to an olive-brown or ruddish hue. After spawning, this species of salmon will spend its final days in its natal stream.
