Chicken of the SeaAlaksan Pink Salmon in Spring Water, 5 Ounce Packets (Pack of 12), Wild Caught Salmon, Skinless & Boneless

The size is perfect for when you are on the go and need a quick protein snack. It is really easy to use has no bones with a wonderful texture and color. The protein content is good as well. You can eat it by itself or on some crackers.

This price was too good to pass up on the salmon. The vacuum sealed packs of salmon are very convenient and easy to store. The vacuum sealed packs also allow for increased shelf life. This salmon is moist but not soaking wet. I have been through 8 of the packs so far and have yet to run into any bones; this is so much better than canned salmon. The texture of the salmon is good and is perfect for making salmon patties. This is a great product

My expectations for this were low. I just needed these for quick meals in a pinch. These do that and are really inexpensive for what I've paid for them. These don't taste or smell like salmon. It's got a pinkish hue so you know it's not tuna. It tastes like weaker tuna, and has the mouth feel of canned tuna. I just think and prepare them like tuna. So given that, no issues here. I gather the preparation process for canned/bagged fish removes any flavor profiles. Fat and other things are probably boiled away leaving just the protein in some sterile water. No bones, Very little water. I'd recommend these based on the idea that Tuna are huge apex predators that eat a lot of little fish. They accumulate more mercury in theory. Eating a lot of seafood up the chain means longer lived fish will have more lead and mercury. So salmon don't really have that issue of long lives. It's less mercury and heavy metals per fish. Those are my thoughts based on science I've read.

Excellent Quality. Taste is great

Impressive snack or meal, great with lime juice powder, convenient and inexpensive, no gross packaged fish aftertaste, no nasty liquids. 70 calories.

Solid quality with good flavor and texture. Perfect for a quick meal by itself or mixing with other ingredients. Decent sized chunks with good moisture out of the bag. No issues with quality or taste.

Good size, easy to use, perfect texture, no bones, good protein content, love the individual meal

Of the commercially available wild salmon species, pink salmon is the easily the least desirable. But that makes it perfect for this application (i.e. canned/retorted). You wouldn't want to ruin a king or coho salmon by processing it in the manner.This product is a great substitute for canned tuna. I eat it on salad or on toast, or will mix with mayo and put on a sandwich. The fanciest thing I make with this is pan fried salmon cakes (drain, mix with bread crumbs, mayo, dijon, egg, and whatever spices/herbs), which is easy and quite tasty.Wild caught pink salmon is also a sustainable fishery, so you can eat this knowing you are not contributing to the endangerment of a fish species. However, the product is caught in the North Pacific, shipped to Thailand for processing and packaging, and then shipped to North America. That's quite the journey and carbon footprint. The price we pay for affordable and convenient (I deducted a star because of this).Chicken of the Sea is owned by Thai Union Group, which helps explain why North Pacific pink salmon is shipped all the way to Thailand for processing. Thai Union Group has been accused of being linked (indirectly) to slavery on the open seas by some of their suppliers. Many of their products make their way into the US market, especially in the form of pet food. I hope that no slave labor is used in the production of this product (I would assume not, because most of the reported slavery were on Thai vessels in the South China Sea, not in the North Pacific), but I really have to consider that it is a possibility after what I've been reading on this topic. The Associated Press and the NY Times published articles last year regarding slavery on fishing vessels last year (2015); google it for more info. Another source of info is the Wikipedia page for Thai Union Group.If you want something tasty, convenient, budget-friendly, you can't go wrong with this product. However, if you are a socially and environmentally conscious person, I hesitate to recommend this product to you.
