Keta salmon, also known as chum salmon, has firm, coral-colored meat that transforms beautifully when smoked. The result is a clean, savory flavor with a satisfying texture and plenty of character.
It is one of our favorites here at Ketchikan Sam’s for a reason. Smoked Keta is approachable, versatile, and seriously good.
Keta is also one of the most abundant salmon species harvested in Southeast Alaska. Choosing Keta helps support local fishermen, responsible harvest practices, and the coastal communities that depend on Alaska’s fisheries.
Delicious. Sustainable. Affordable. That’s why we call it Keta Kandy.

I’m obsessed with the perfect balance of sweet glaze and deep wood smoke. Unlike other salmon that can be too oily, this has a fantastic, meaty bite that makes it the ultimate snack. It disappeared in minutes. I’ll definitely be ordering more! Don't let the name 'chum' fool you this is premium quality! It’s leaner and firmer than other varieties, which makes it the perfect base for that incredible candy coating.
