MSC Wild Salmon

Sovintex’s history with Alaska and wild salmon goes back to the 1980’s when farmed salmon was only at the beginning. Nowadays Sovintex is a leading importer in Europe and wholesaler of the 5 species of wild salmon in the Pacific : sockeye (red), coho (also known as silver), keta (also called chum), king (chinook) and pink (less commonly called humpback with regards to the hump that males display when they mature).

We work closely with many partners in several regions in Alaska, namely Bristol Bay, Cook Inlet, Prince Williams Sounds and the South East Alaska where we also support independant packers.

Each customer has unique needs: species, gear-type, product in headed & gutted or fillets form, fillet Trim, size, shore-frozen or frozen-at-sea, skin color, meat color, and many others: what are yours?

We also import and supply ikura from the best producers in Alaska, controlling parameters such as firmness and salt content.

Our love for Alaska wild salmon developed into key sourcing expertise. By visiting and auditing plants every year, our deep knowledge of Alaska makes us able to select the best match for your needs, whether for smoking, for foodservice and catering, or for retail.
