There’s a reason the Smoked Sockeye Salmon Chowder is Heather's Choice favorite backpacking meal! The salmon is wild-caught in the Cook Inlet of Alaska and hot-smoked just down the road in Ninilchik. Heather's Choice mixes a hefty portion of salmon with carrots, celery, and potatoes in their chowder, and lightly season it with dill, cayenne, and white pepper. Coconut milk powder makes this meal creamy and calorie-rich!

Didn't rehydrate - doesn't taste good
chunks of inedible hard as rock salmon with a strange goo around it. not getting this again.
Edible
taste wise the chowder is decent but everything else is a miss. doesn't rehydrate well at all even with extra water and cook time. i do recommend the spaghetti from hc!
Couldn’t eat it!
thought i’d g he ave this my first night out on the at since i wasn’t that hungry yet and i thought well salmon chowder would be a good idea. well, i was wrong. as other reviewers wrote tgg by e salmon jerky in the meal was inedible but i did drink the semi viscous liquid in the package since i added extra water to see if the meal would ever get rehydrated. i can’t believe i had to carry the solids in my trash bag for three days before i was able to get rid of it. and, after three days the somids still hadn’t rehydrated.
Salmon Jerky Soup
this just didn't work out. even with a little extra water and time, the salmon keeps a jerky-like texture. i found the fishiness overwhelming, though my wife enjoyed the flavor, at least. we couldn't get through the whole thing.
So bad it provided a good source of jokes for days on the trail.
wow! i was shocked by how incredibly bad these meals were. i am no stranger to dehydrated backpacker meals, and i was really excited to find all the dairy-free options available on ggg, as well as much better ingredient lists with none of the weird stuff! all the other brands we tried were excellent, but the heather's choice meals were entirely unpalatable. the meals simply didn't reconstitute and the flavor was horrible. i even tried simmering one meal for 50m in a covered pot; it still had tough dry chunks. we tried the salmon chowder and bison chili flavors. i still have two of the chicken mole, but i'm afraid to try them; they'll probably go straight in the trash. when we've had weird meals in the past they still usually get eaten or mostly eaten; none of my family would consume any amount of these despite being on a backpacking trip with limited food. for reference: the meals were not expired and i attempted reconstitution at ~6200ft. my family now uses the code-word "heather" to describe anyone or anything who remains crunchy, unpalatable, or otherwise unpleasant, even after a good soak in hot water. ;)
