Etymology

The term 'coho' originates from the Chinook language, spoken by the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. In that language, 'kรณho' refers to the salmon species we now commonly know as coho salmon. The species was first scientifically classified in 1836 and has since become an important part of the ecology of Pacific rivers and oceans, as well as a significant fishery resource. Coho salmon are known for their distinctive silver skin and are often sought after for sport fishing. Over time, the popularity of coho within culinary circles has increased, making it a staple in many seafood dishes.
