National Salmon Day

National Salmon Day celebrates salmon, highlighting its taste, convenience, nutritional value, and versatility in recipes. Observed annually on October 8, the day recognizes both wild and packaged salmon. Salmon can be grilled, baked, smoked, cured, canned, or prepared in other ways, and it provides protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

The observance was proposed by Chicken of the Sea in 2015 as a way to remind Americans of salmon’s nutritional benefits. That year, San Diego, Chicago, and Cook County, Illinois, issued proclamations recognizing October 8 as National Salmon Day, according to SeafoodSource. Chicken of the Sea continues to describe October 8 as a day to celebrate salmon’s health, taste, convenience, and recipe possibilities in its holiday feature.

How to Observe National Salmon Day

Celebrate by preparing a salmon dish at home or enjoying salmon at a restaurant. Try a preparation you have not had before, such as grilled, baked, smoked, or canned salmon, and share the meal with friends or family. You can also learn more about salmon’s nutritional value and consider how the fish was sourced, including whether it came from a sustainable fishery.
