ŌRA KING SALMON - WHOLE FILLET - SASHIMI GRADE
Ōra king salmon is bred in some of the purest spring waters in the world then raised sustainably in the pristine, fast-flowing sea waters of the Malborough sounds in New Zealand. This process of freshwater to saltwater emulates the life cycle of the species in the wild. They are kept at extremely low population density, only 2% fish to 98% water, ensuring a healthy environment and free movement.
Ōra king salmon, also known as Chinook salmon, is the largest of the salmon species. It differs from the common Atlantic salmon by its higher fat content, naturally containing more omega-3 oil which can be seen in the striking marbled fat lines within the bright orange flesh.
Softer and more delicate flesh than other salmon species. A full, rich flavor with a buttery texture and large flake.
This incredibly flavorsome salmon is delicious pan-fried, baked, or steamed. Try with a citrus and fennel salad or crushed potatoes with capers, shallots, and a butter sauce. Also incredible served sashimi style or as a salmon tartare.
