- What is the difference between red and pink salmon? Which canned salmon should you buy? I open red sockeye salmon and pink salmon and take a close look at both types of canned salmon, and then cook up salmon patties with each type of fish. For more canned salmon recipes check out the links:

Thanks for checking out this canned salmon information. I think pink salmon is the best salmon for making salmon fritters and all kinds of fish recipes, but give both types of salmon a try and let me know what you think.
As always, we appreciate the kind comments and support, and we'll see you next time in the kitchen!
“They’re both behind the curtain crying” 😭 😂☠️
I used to use pink salmon in my patties. I never minded, but my husband only will eat them made with the red salmon. Actually, he prefers red salmon right out of the can.
As for the skin and the bones - I eat the bones right away for the calcium. I remove most of the skin and freeze it in a sandwich bag. After I’ve save the skin from a few cans, I give the frozen bag of skin to my son for his dog. “Salmon skin popsicle.”
that sounds like a lucky dog! I think CG would be happy if I bought red salmon all of the time instead of pink salmon--she always gravitates toward the pricier option--or maybe I just think she does :^)
When I was a kid I was the only one in my family who loved the bones in canned salmon, so my job was opening the cans and I was paid in delicious, crunchy salmon bones.😁
I remember my mom making salmon patties all the time when I was a kid, but I never paid attention to whether or not she used the bones...I'll have to ask her
I always give my kitty the bones...I tried and I know i'm missing out on vitamin D.
I never knew there was much difference. Thanks for the tutorial! I think I would like the red the best. Have a great week, you two! Stay cool!
I like one canned salmon as much as the other taste-wise, but the pink salmon price is sooooo much better! Hope your weekend is getting off to a nice start :^)
Would love to spend time listening to Buck while he’s off his head on LSD 😂😂😂
When marijuana became legal in Seattle, two pot stores opened up in our neighborhood. CG and I bought some edibles and the first time we tried them I had TOO MANY. Oh, it was a very sad day. All the drugs I need I can find in a French bakery :^)
@@ChefBuckRecipes You need to upload that video 😃😃
Edibles never do a damn thing for me. I have to smoke it, on the rare months when I can afford any.
Always love how you explain the features of each main ingredient in terms of prize, nutrition and visual aspects. "Omega3 does good science-cy stuff" was the best explanation for why we gotta buy and eat salmon! The idea of patty and salmon burger at the end was cool too. Definitely love the texture. Thank you so much for sharing, Chef Buck and Camera Girl! Have a nice weekend!
I occasionally make "meatballs" out of canned salmon, but mostly I make patties. Do you ever use canned salmon? it's an ingredient I always try to have in the cabinet because it's a good last minute meal idea. Hope you're having a great weekend!
I buy red salmon every Blue Moon 🔵 if treating myself splurge. But pink salmon is a regular.
Prices here where I'm at pink salmon $4.95 red salmon $13.00 I rather just found out to $15 and get 3 cans of the Pink Salmon. I'm not rich and do everything by myself so can't do red all the time.
Hey Buck, this was a good video. I enjoyed your comparisons. I only ate can sockeye salmon one time. I made a mistake at the grocery store and pick it up instead of the pink salmon. I was eating some without cooking or preparing it and the flavor was so much better than I had ever tasted before when eating pink salmon. For me, there was a big difference in taste. Maybe the pink salmon I was eating than wasn't that good or I got lucky and just got a very good can of red salmon. At any rate, it was the best canned salmon I ever ate. Have you ever put canned salmon on the Panini Grill? I do that with canned fish. I will cook the mackerel and sardines and sometimes even salmon after dipping it in a bowl of Italian dressing and water with onion powder and pepper and Italian seasoning. Or old Bay if I have any. The sardines have so much fat in them they become like fish bacon.
I don't use a panini grill too often...we move around so much, and often there is not one available...I had a panini grill when we lived in Seattle--and I love them!--but I find I eat A LOT MORE BREADY SANDWICHES WHEN I HAVE ONE AROUND, which is not a good thing for me! I don't prefer one salmon over the other taste wise, but I sure do prefer the pink salmon price over the red.
Excellent video dissertation, Chef Buck. I like your sensible approach to the economics of canned fish. Guess you can afford to give Camera Girl a raise.
haha...yeah!...all the money we save on pink salmon cam go into her Christmas Bonus!
Love your videos! Never any rare and obscure seasonings or herbs and easy enough for us hacks to cook. You , also, give alternative uses as well which is nice. I'm a big fan. Keep them coming!
thanks! I do try to make cooking as little of a chore as possible :^)
I Loved her reaction. “OMG!” I laughed so hard!
😂😂😂
To add flavor and texture to salmon spread, add parsley flakes, sesame seeds and wood smoke essence. Sometimes I mix in boiled chopped eggs because they are cheap and they stretch a can while adding more protein from a sustainable source. Liquid smoke can make salmon taste like it was grilled on a barbecue but without all the mess and effort.
Personally I love pan fried Salmon patties! I do prefer to remove the skin but I do leave the bones. Thanks and thumbs UP to you two!
Salmon patties reminds me of being a kid since my mom regularly cooked them up in a skillet :^) I used to remove as much skin and bones as I could back in the day when I started cooking them on my own...I eat the skin and bones now for added nutrition, but I think I'm also more conscious of the little odds and ends of foods I waste (CG says I'm just getting cheaper!)
@@ChefBuckRecipes LOL @ CG! Same here my Mother made them and I have fond memories of that. She also used canned solid white Tuna Fish in place of Salmon. I love pan fried Tuna Patties!
canned tuna patties? I've never tried that!
@@ChefBuckRecipes Oh man , please try them! I normal use Solid White Albacore Tuna, I really think that you would like them!
@@ChefBuckRecipes Sounds like an idea for your next video. Hey CG, you need to be in front of the camera more often. Have a great one.
After losing my job because of depression, i'm self medicating (since medication didn't work and i no longer have health insurance) using sockeye salmon because it has a high source of Vitamin D. Going to try it out for a week and see how I do. Good video, thanks for sharing!
How did it work out? I'm considering canned salmon for the vitamin d content too.
@@jesusmywholehaschangedHave you tried it yet and did it help?
@@ant7699 I bought some, but have yet to try it. I have been eating canned sardines, mackerel, and cod liver though.
One of my favorite meals is salmon and rice. Either type will work. Only a very slight difference in flavor.
It's a quick, easy dish to make. Fry bacon until crispy and onions until soft. Add a can of salmon, liquid, and all. Cook through. It doesn't need much in the way of seasoning. Me? I keep it simple, just a little pepper. Serve over rice. Delish.
Thanks for the clarification. Looks like it's pink salmon for the win! I've actually never baked it. Always in the pan. 😋
The pink salmon is hands down my first choice...3 cans of pink for the price of 2 cans of red? that's easy kitchen math for me!
Don’t drain off the omega3 oil. Either drink it or mix the juice in a dressing etc. Yum!
"Pink Salmon" makes the best 'tuna fish' sandwich you'll ever have.
CG buys the smaller cans of salmon form making "tuna fish"...sometimes she'll mix a can of tuna and a can of salmon together
Thank you for the info I didn't know, 👍
I do read labels for sodium amounts and I bet that depends upon brand to brand. You both have a great weekend!
thanks for watching!--the 2 pink salmon labels in this video show significantly different levels of sodium...salt is the added ingredients in these cans, and it looks like it can vary quite a bit from brand to brand
The red sockeye salmon tastes fresher, less fishy, and more pleasant to me. I can eat the red straight up, not so much with the pink. It's worth $4 per small can to me. Price may be higher than that by now, but that's what I paid last.
I think maybe the red salmon has more astaxanthin, than the pink salmon. Astaxanthin gives the salmon it's red color. Other than that I usually eat the pink salmon.
Astaxanthin? wasn't that one of the bad guys in The Lord of the Rings movies?
@@ChefBuckRecipes I think your right. Some people try to eat as healthy as possible, I don't know if it's worth 3 dollars more for a can, to get a daily dose of astaxanthin though. You did ask what's the difference.
Great video. I always use your recipe for baked salmon patties, delicious!
I think my mom used to put saltines in her salmon patties, but some years ago I started using a lot less filler...I think I was trying to eat less carbs, and that was one lower-carb habit that stuck
I prefer the red salmon. Used to be that there were sales where you could get buy one get one free so I would stock up on the red. Yeah, I think everyone in the beginning takes out the skin and the bones. Now I eat the bones as I'm preparing the patties. 😆 Love your videos keep them coming! Hi to camera girl.
my attitude over the skin and bones has certainly evolved over the years...I don't know if I've ever seen the red salmon as a BOGO, but I have BOGO'd the pink salmon (although it's been a few years since I've seen even that)
@@ChefBuckRecipes I don't have any in my cabinet. It's been several years since I saw buy-one-get-one. It used to be around Lent that there was buy one get one. I guess I'm going to have to pay full price for red salmon, I got a taste for it now! 😋
Thank you, just learned something about Salmon.great video!
glad you enjoyed the vid---thanks for checking it out!
I’ve never had red salmon before. I love salmon patties 👍👏
Thanks Chef Buck....I've eaten both growing up but never knew the details. I love salmon patties, but some restaurants put so much breading, it's hard to taste the salmon flavor.
The difference between red and pink salmon is most obvious in the fresh fish. Sockeye (red) salmon is so far superior to pink. I would not eat a fresh pink salmon because the skin has a natural slime I find totally unpleasant, although it does go away after cooking. I prefer the firmer texture and deeper flavor of sockeye, although I do enjoy canned pink salmon, too.
Upon further review anything with hump in the name is getting my money . Been making your canned salmon cakes for years . Cheers Buck
canned salmon is one of those ingredients I always try to have on hand in the kitchen cabinet...luckily for me, CG, my mom, and my mother-in-law all enjoy salmon patties (especially if someone else is doing the cooking and cleaning)
@@ChefBuckRecipes the sauce with the dill is also extremely easy and delicious . I just watched the original salmon pattie recipe again and you burnt yourself on the pan in that one too lol . You have a fan for life Cheers Buck
I think salmon patties might have been the second cooking video I ever made (I know the first video was deviled eggs)
I am 70. As I recall, growing up, we had fried salmon patties with spinach and macaroni and cheese about every 4 months. Some sort of health ritual dinner. Salmon patties about gagged you. It made my parents happy if the kids would eat it. It didn't hurt us much.
As you crushed that spine between your fingers, I suddenly could 'taste' that crunch; a forgotten memory from a canned fish from my childhood. Maybe it's not as noticeable when you've pre-crushed it, and mixed it up with other ingredients, but I'd probably still take it out myself because of that. xD
Then again, living in Norway, I think I'd just go for fresh Norwegian salmon instead. ;)
I try to crush the bones up pretty good for any canned salmon recipe I'm making...I'm not a fan of getting that "boney bite" in my salmon patties
I LOVE your salmon patty recipe you did many many years ago, it's the best!
Great video...I learnt so much. Thank you 😊
I have never seen salmon (or and other meat) come in cans like that, only the short wide cans.
like sardines?
The difference is that red sockeye salmon will give you 4 milligrams of astaxanthin which is why it is red, in four ounce serving and astaxanthin is great for protecting eyes and skin and for being a powerful anti cancer agent.
What do you reccommend for picky eaters? Do any have little pieces of bone in them? If i feel bones when eating, i lose my appetite.
They both have bones. He covered that in the video.
You really had good ideas for pink salmon.
Thanks
I'm a fan of eggs benedict for breakfast, and using leftover salmon patties for that dish is one of my favorites
I love the cheap version with patties.
me too....there is a slight difference between the two salmon types when made into patties, but I don't prefer one type over the other, so the least expensive option is the obvious choice to me
There's also occasionally white salmon which I think is delicious. There's very little commercial wild caught Atlantic salmon as the fishery is recovering. Wild caught Pacific salmon is plentiful. Farmed salmon is almost always Atlantic whether it's from Scotland, Norway, or Chile. I don't think salmon is caught in Thailand's waters.
A propos of that I bought last year a jar of gefilte fish made of whitefish from the Great Lakes. Fine and dandy, then I noticed on the label Product of Morocco! Isn't modern economics amazing, interesting? But then you read Forbes.
well, I mostly look at the picture in Forbes :^) and I imagine wild caught salmon is transported to Thailand where labor costs are less....modern economics is certainly something
Thank you so much. I wanted to know what the difference is between the two. Besides the price.
I'll stick to the pink.
So glad I found y’all’s channel! Hello from East Texas!!!
Hello Texas!--thanks a lot for watching
I had no idea that the bones were edible so I always avoided the cans and paid like 5x more for the fillet.
Everyone seems that salmon in the can is good for no more than patties. Ever heard of salmon stew. Here in the South we know how to cook and eat. Don't get me wrong, I love patties too.
What was the weight of the product in each can? One said 3 oz is a serving; the other said 1/3 cup is a serving.
I watch your grammas pot roast every time I make it. Epic video. Great recipe. Wonderful woman.
I remember a long time back you told me you had worked in Cooper Landing AK for a summer. Probably at the Princess Lodge. I drive through there twice a month or so. There’s lots of sockeye that pass through there. I love reds but gots no problem with fresh pinks neither.
I did work at the Princess Lodge--not too many other employment options there at the time. I had a friend who had his own boat and he guided trips on the river. His fridge was filled with salmon, and I probably ate as much salmon in that single summer as I've eaten in the rest of my life. You in Homer or Soldotna?
@@ChefBuckRecipes Just south of Soldotna. Been filling the freezer for winter. It’s mighty fishy around here. 👍😎🐟
I so enjoyed this. I love canned salmon. Thank you.
I love it too...I feel like I have a ridiculous number of canned salmon videos, but it's something that we just use quite often in our kitchen
@@ChefBuckRecipes I would be so happy with many more videos with salmon. Addictive to me!
Had some Pink Salmon ,,, it Was delicious, made my with Almond flour... thanks 👍🙂
100 grams of protein for 500 calories is amazing
I was the seafood specialist for a supermarket chain for many years. We often sold wild caught Alaskan salmon that was labeled as a product of China. If you looked closely, the package said processed in Tacoma, Washington. To explain, the ship was caught by a vessel of Chinese registry - usually by American fishermen. It went down the coast to Washington to be processed in a USDA inspected plant by Americans, in America, never entering Chinese waters at all. But the law says that as soon as it landed on the Chinese vessel it must be labeled "Product of China." Go figure.
Very interesting.. Thanks.
When my mother would make salmon patties, she would give me the bones to eat as a delicacy, and I have always enjoyed eating the bones of the canned salmon. I fully agree with you about the nutritional value of the bones and today, I just leave the bones in the patties and enjoy them that way!
My experience was the exact opposite. Mom's patties with bones grossed me out, I avoided canned salmon for 40 years until recently when I realized it is easy to pick out the bones when the can is opened.
Thanks for a great video about the difference between red or pink salmon 👍
Great Info…..I make Salmon Patties and I will have to try the red
Red salmon is definitely worth trying...and it seems like some folks prefer it over the pink, although I'm too thrifty to ever jump into that camp
The red taste better by far
Salmon for dinner it is!!! Thx chef 😀
and breakfast!--I'm surprised how much I like these patties for breakfast with an egg on top
I think it’s worth noting that farm raised salmon is not always noted as farm raised on packaging. It is sometimes labeled as Atlantic salmon, A fishery that has been closed for many years. Anything labeled Atlantic salmon is actually farm raised.
Obviously the nutrition is different because the fat content is different and the darker salmon is eating algae that turns it a deeper color.
Thank you
I use one can of each and I fry them up in ghee low and slow.
you mix red and pink together into patties?
I get my red salmon from the Cook Inlet in Alaska. I jar a lot but I whole freeze as well. Right now I'm making a salmon melt.
Thank You, Chef Buck, I had been buying the canned salmon from Sams Club, it is pretty good, I usually mix it with a little ranch dressing (something I learned from a Sams sample cart) and eat it with crackers or on a salad. I hadn't gotten the whole salmon in a can because I was creeped out by the bones and the skin being in a can but now I know you can eat the bones so I might get that when it is on sale.
CG sometimes buys the smaller cans of salmon to make salmon salad instead of tuna salad, and sometimes she'll mix a can of salmon and a can of tuna together to make her salad...the ranch idea sounds yummy to me
@@ChefBuckRecipes Hadn't heard of mixing salmon and tuna together will have to give that a try. A bottle of ranch doesn't go very far in our house especially when I get a good deal on canned salmon, which unfortunately hasn't been the case lately. I love your videos, I've gotten so many great ideas and you make simple food, I have a 5 ingredient limit, not including salt and pepper, most all seasonings come as a blend anymore.
thanks...simple is often best, although a 5 ingredient limit would put a wrench in the works when I'm in the mood for Indian dishes...I need to get back on the plain veggie wagon for a while to combat all the bad baked goods decisions I've been making lately
@@ChefBuckRecipes On my last health kick, I was eating low fat plain yogurt with blended mixed berries and a banana on the side for breakfast.....steamed broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage for lunch and then a smoothie with a simple protein such as sardines for supper. King Oscar skinless and boneless 'Spanish style' in evoo has a bit of a kick with a red chili pepper in every can are my favorite. I was losing a pound per day.
Thanks for the info❣️🙂
thanks for watching!
I love frozen salmon the skinless salmon is very good for you . I usually eat salmon about 3 to 4 times a week.
Chef Buck, thank you so much! You answered every question I had about salmon. I would block the isle trying to decide which one to get because of the price!
This video must have been done before inflation hit. $7.19 for 14.75 oz and $4.09 for 7.5 oz for Sockeye salmon is a good buy.
The beauty of the salmon is not in the looks but in its performance - high in vit D, protein, good calcium and potassium and DHA and EPA oils and fatty acids resulting from their cold water environment. A good plus also is that it is wild caught and not farm raised, not to mention their diet of krill and the extreme exercise these fish get.
Love red!!
Salmon croquettes...my favorite meal.
Awesome and straight to the point! Thank you.
Farm raised salmon is usually Atlantic salmon, not a pacific variety at all.
I Always ate the bones and skin since a kid.
Red costs more money 💴, I buy wild caught pink
seems like an obvious choice to me, as well :^)
Awesome 👍
thanks!
Love this content
I got a question can I put it in A Bowl and just microwave it and just eat it
Good stuff. Thanks
thanks a lot!
Is there no difference in taste? I would think the additional fat in red salmon would make the taste richer in flavor. No?
Love the vid... great vibes man
Great!!
thanks!
Great video. Enjoyed.
thanks a lot!
Yum ... and I learnt, too.
A flavorite of mine
Also 1 of my specialties
patties are my favorite way to use salmon, and I sometimes use them for "meatballs"
The best Canned fish 🐟 😋
I appreciate your video, wanted to know what the inside looked like of a canned salmon lol :) Thank you!
Yeah, the wild caught,red salmon looks better to me, and considering the price compared to fresh, hard to find wild caught, it’s a bargain.
How does Chef talk and laugh at the same time?
I dont know much about canned salmon but I knew Pink is the worst taste of the 5 type of fresh salmons.
Alaska sez, * right on!*
I spent a summer working along the Kenai River in Alaska and I ate as much salmon as I wanted whenever I wanted it...and I never got tired of it
Why dont they can King Salmon? Its supposed to taste #1 of Salmon species, plus its very plentiful.
I like your wife in the background 😂😂😂
I have debt coming out of my butt. I'm about to eat food-bank canned salmon for survival. I'm really not looking forward to those bones. Should I use a blender to make them smaller? Or any tips?
Red or pink broccoli? New video idea?
CG likes her broccoli orange (about 1/2 pound of cheese on it)
@@ChefBuckRecipes 😂
I disagree, I think there is a difference in taste between the two. Personally, I prefer the sockeye.
I eat salmon patties at least once a week.
The bones have tons of calcium
What is the difference? The price! don't care about anything else. A can of red salmon in the UK is now approaching £5. Pink salmon is £2.30. Go figure. And the cans on sale here are about a third of the size of the ones in the vid'.😭
I could understand buying the red salmon if there was a substantial benefit of the red over the pink, but the differences are so superficial...I can't rationalize regularly paying more for the red
@@ChefBuckRecipes We are on the same page!😀And when I quoted the price I'm talking about cans a third of the size you are holding in your hands at the start of the vid'.😭
My sincere sympathy. This is a senseless tragedy. Nobody deserves to lose their life this way. And friends and family don't deserve to lose someone they love this way.
Seriously 7$ a can that will feed 4 ppl is cheap per serving
that's very true...but the $4 will do just the same!
Love me some salmon! :D
I've never served salmon patties with molé but I bet it'd be good
Personally i think red taste better
One is fishier than the orther one!
Red is not fishy at all. Delicious. Pink is fishy. Yes, I know, it’s fish!!
