Regarding differences between species of salmon:

Sockeyes: (also called Reds) are the richest tasting, highest in oil content (and omega-3 content) firm and most red in flesh color. Sockeyes are always wild --they cannot be farmed. Bristol Bay, where I have a fishing boat, gets half of the world's sockeye run. Japan buys most of the sockeye so it's often hard to get in the US.

Chinooks: (also called Kings) are also high in oil content and quite variable from region to region in Alaska. Some are white-fleshed, some red. Because of the high oil content, they smoke well.

Cohos: (also called Silvers) have a lower oil content and milder taste than Chinooks and Sockeyes, have about 25% fewer calories, and are more of an orange-red in color. During the fishing season, we tend to barbeque Sockeyes and Chinooks and bake Cohos.
