"Reckon there's salmon, or is it too early in the season? Accio Salmon!"
— Ted Tonks[src]

Salmon was the common name for several species of ray-finned fish in the same taxonomic family.[5] A salmon was one possible corporeal form of the Patronus Charm.[6]

History[]

Dudley Dursley's Distance Award featured a picture of a salmon.[7]

Ghosts could almost taste rotten food, and as such, stinking salmon was a dish served at Deathday Parties, including on Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's five-hundreth Deathday Party on the 31 October, 1992.[8][2]

Salmon was served during the final meal at 4 Privet Drive with Marjorie Dursley during the summer holidays of 1993.[3]

In 1997, Dirk Cresswell caught some salmon with a Summoning Charm while he, Ted Tonks, Dean Thomas, Griphook, and Gornuk were on the run from Snatchers in the wilderness.[4]

Salmon was also one of the known Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans flavours.[9]
