Sustainability
Our king salmon live in cold, mountain-fed lakes, where they are farmed sustainably in a low-density environment. The ultra-clean waters of the New Zealand Southern Alps, low stocking densities and remote location keep the fish naturally healthy without the need for antibiotics, hormones, or GMOs, so it’s safe for the whole family.
We source from Mount Cook Alpine, which has been rated by Seafood Watch as the most sustainably farmed salmon in the world.
Nutrition
Freshwater king salmon has the highest oil content of all salmon breeds, resulting in a greater concentration of healthy omega-3s. In addition to being a rich source of healthy fats, king salmon also contains a good amount of protein, while still being low in carbohydrates, making it an ideal component of a keto diet.
Cooking Tips
Aoraki Smokehouse uses a traditional Scottish method of smoking to produce the finest quality smoked salmon. The smoking process is long and slow, infusing the king salmon with a rich oak flavour, while retaining its smooth and silky texture.
Our cold-smoked salmon fillet is unsliced so you can portion it as you like. Try it thinly sliced on a wholemeal bagel slathered with cream cheese, or in a sumptuous smoked salmon carbonara.
Packaging
One whole frozen side of cold-smoked salmon (~800g), which is vacuum-packed to preserve freshness.
