Silver salmon, also known as Coho salmon, are a popular species of fish found in the North Pacific Ocean. They are recognized for their bright silver skin and distinctive dark spots on their backs. Silver salmon typically weigh between 8 to 12 pounds and can grow up to 30 inches long. They are anadromous, meaning they hatch in freshwater, migrate to the ocean, and return to freshwater to spawn.
These fish are highly sought after for their rich flavor and firm texture, making them a favorite among anglers and chefs alike. Silver salmon are known for their acrobatic leaps when hooked, providing an exciting challenge for sport fishermen. They primarily feed on smaller fish and marine invertebrates during their time in the ocean.
