OK I'll bite... why do you suspect this?
Because the Copper River Salmon Run is very short, lasting only a few weeks between late May and early June. The term Copper River Salmon has become a marketing buzzword (buzzphrase) and I suspect that the equally excellent salmon being caught in lesser known rivers (located increasingly further north as the season progresses) is being sold as Copper River because of the caché of the name and the price tag it brings.
I think you're talkin about King salmon from the Copper River, which is definitely not what I bought nor what was advertised. Sockeye salmon from the Copper River, which is far more abundant and is what I got at Isaacson's, is in season pretty much all summer long....defended from strong temptations to social ambition by a still stronger taste for tripe and onions."

Post #122 - June 20th, 2010, 11:23 amThat's my understanding as well: the king salmon season is over, but other varieties of copper river salmon are available through most of the summer."Your swimming suit matches your eyes, you hold your nose before diving, loving you has made me bananas!"

Thanks!
That was from my 2005 trip. I stopped in Chitna after finishing my Iron Butt Association Ultimate Coast-to Coast ride. (Key West, FL to Deadhorse, AK)
I did not want to take my Harley again because of the road conditions on the Dalton Hwy., so I took my Suzuki V-Strom...

That looks great, Mel. I like grilling on a cedar plank as well. I even re-use them several times.

I didn't see any seafood at Costco the other day. My wife said they bring out the seafood on the weekends.

Post #147 - June 2nd, 2011, 6:21 pmThe last time I was in Dirk's, he told me that the Copper River run was much better this year than last, which was a very low catch (maybe even a record low catch). He said to expect much lower prices this year, and I guess we're finally starting to see them. Hooray!Steve Z.

=R=
Wanted to add that this was for Sockeye, not King. Still, it was very tasty cooked indirectly over lump charcoal on the Weber kettle.
