I am glad to see someone knows their Latin names. As for the rest of you who choose to slag this great game fish, they happen to be the highest in omega 3.

I always thought Chum had the lowest oil content and white spring had the highest...

the sixth species of pac. salmon is the masu salmon or japanese cherry salmon isn't it?, anyways chum fight pound for pound better than any other pacific salmonoid, and if the can said coho on the side you'd probably eat it and love it, so what's the problem? chum and pinks are great eating if they're relatively fresh, and I'd take canned chum over fresh steelhead any day which is by far the worst tasting silver fish I've ever experienced

I heard of a Cherry Salmon being caught in the Cowichan once-a guy had no clue what it was took it to fisheries they ID'ed it as a Masou Salmon, I guess that fish took a wrong turn/was dropped on his head as a Smolt.

The "Siberian Salmon", is actually the taimen, not chum.  They get very large.  :o

There actually is a true species of Pacific salmon, that are only found in Asia.

They are known as Masu or Cherry salmon.

years ago a commercial fisherman friend told me that chum smoked the best. I didn't believe him thinking nothing could top a sockeye; them one year I smoked both and did a taste test. Chum are the best smokers.

The young cherry salmon look a lot like a Steelhead smolt...
When older they look a lot like a pink.
Definitely a cool fish though... might have to give em a try one day.
