What is the difference between the red King Salmon and the ivory King Salmon (Refer to the fillet pictures for the comparison between King and Ivory King Salmon)?
Salmon appear red due to the carotene (from shrimp, krill, etc.) in their diet. However, due to genetics, the ivory King possesses an enzyme that processes this carotene. Nutritionally, they're the same but taste-wise, the ivory King tends to be more buttery than the red Kings. Because of this, chefs are willing to pay a premium for this fish. The ivory King is also rare, with only about 1 in 20 Kings coming in as ivory.
Please note that wild Pacific salmon has a stronger taste and smell than the common farmed Atlantic salmon that you may be used to.
