Sockeye or red salmon are sleek as polished silver in the ocean, and is the number-one fish for smoking. Also called blueback and kokanee (landlocked salmon), sockeye range from the Arctic to the Sacramento River in California. Average weight is 4 to 8 pounds, with the state record at 16 pounds.

Spawning sockeye turn a brilliant scarlet color, their heads olive, the males hump-backed with hooked jaws and sharp, doglike teeth.
