King Salmon

“Revered by many chefs as the world's best salmon ”

The surest way to produce superb eating salmon is to raise them in natural surroundings where the water is pure, food safety is assured and human intervention is minimal.

New Zealand’s remote waters, our strict bio-security procedures, low stocking densities and absence of any native salmon species means that New Zealand is free from the usual diseases and pests found elsewhere.

We can raise our salmon naturally without having to resort to chemicals or antibiotics.

Of course, it also helps when you start out with a species as desirable as New Zealand King Salmon.

The perfect all-rounder, New Zealand King Salmon are renowned for satisfying the sensory expectations of salmon lovers everywhere with their brilliant colour and full fresh taste.

In addition to their healthy and sustainable upbringing, New Zealand King Salmon offer consumers significant health and nutritional benefits.

As a species, our King (or Chinook) Salmon offer the highest natural oil content of all salmon varieties, including beneficial Omega 3.

The high natural oil content also imparts added taste, tenderness and a delicate texture to New Zealand King Salmon.

This combination sees New Zealand King Salmon revered by many chefs as the world’s best salmon.

As the world’s largest supplier of this impressive species, New Zealand is able to offer consistent supplies of quality New Zealand King Salmon to its international clientele.

For consumers who appreciate excellent taste in their salmon but also like to know it comes from the world’s purest coastal water, New Zealand King Salmon is the salmon of choice.
