Yes, you've read correctly! We officially have our hands on the extremely limited, beautiful, and decadent, Copper River Salmon!
It's an Alaskan salmon that's so special, it's the gold standard for chefs, restaurateurs, and die-hard salmon connoisseurs. Harvested from the pure and pristine waters of Alaska's Copper River, this sustainable fish is pretty special. That's because every year, from May through September, Copper River King, Sockeye, and Coho salmon return to the river to make the very difficult journey up the glacial fed waters to spawn in their birthplace.
As a result of this intense task, Copper River salmon are extremely rich in omega-3 fatty acids and also, in their melt-in-your-mouth texture that they're known for.
Coveted by anyone who has ever enjoyed it before, this salmon comes with a very, very short season and can also be very hard to find.
Right now, we have Copper River King available, also known as Chinook. It is most celebrated for its giant… Read More
All hail the Tri-Tip! Straight-up, we're kind of obsessed with the tender and flavorful cut of beef that was made famous in Santa Maria, CA,
Super versatile and easy on the wallet, Tri-tips are the perfect crowd pleaser, which is why we suggest serving it at your Memorial Day party!
Okay, so you already know all about Tri-tips. But have you tried Bristol Farms' very own Big Time Marinated Tri-tip? If you have, then you already know how amazing the addition of our hand-crafted, locally-made marinade is for the beef. A 24-hour marinade that's a little bit smokey, a tad bit peppery, and a teensy bit sweet, it just makes our choice natural tri-tips that much more succulent.
But don't take our word for it...try one yourself! Need a cooking tip? Our Meat Director, Rick Stidham suggests wrapping it in foil and placing on your gas grill over medium heat. Turn it every 10 minutes for a total of 40 minutes. Then, unwrap it and get those pretty grill marks by placing it directly on… Read More
87 Points - Silver Medal Highly/Recommended The Beverage Tasting Institute
Intense aromas on the nose featuring ripe berry notes such as raspberries and blackberries together with spicy aromas from the Cabernet Sauvignon. Syrah complements with ripe blueberry notes and finishes with coffee and tobacco notes from the ageing on oak. On the palate Awning is mouth-filling, intense but silky at the same time. Cabernet tannins are present in a harmonic way, complemented with the Syrah intensity. Merlot adds elegance and the Petit Verdot gives length and an elegant refined after taste.
This wine is a good match with game, pork, lamb and rich meats, as well as rich, intensely flavored stews and cheeses.

Keep Checking Back for Updates on when Copper River Salmon is in stores....
We've long awaited this rare and prize-winning salmon and it's almost here! Copper River season officially began and we have already received our first allotment of the delicious, lean, ruby-red salmon with a subtle and mild flavor that you're sure to love.
So what's all the hype about? Copper River salmon is very scarce - especially the King variety. This year, the harvest for Copper River King salmon was about a quarter of last year's harvest. With so few caught, we're extremely proud to be a distributor of this rare and decadent fish.
The Copper River derives its name from the rich copper deposits found along the riverbank. First used by the Alaska native population, and later by settlers of the Russian Empire and the United States, this massive body of water has 13 major tributaries, is a mile wide and runs at 7 miles per hour. Dropping an average of 12 feet per mile and draining 24,000 square… Read More
