Is your salmon fresh or frozen?

Our salmon is flash-frozen at the source immediately after harvest, locking in freshness, flavor, and nutrients. Flash-frozen salmon is often fresher than 'fresh' fish in traditional markets, which may be days old. Keep frozen until ready to use and thaw slowly under refrigeration.

How should I thaw and prepare the salmon?

Keep frozen until ready to use. Thaw slowly under refrigeration. Do not leave soaking in water as it will affect flavor and texture. Do not leave thawed fish in the vacuum-sealed bag for more than 24 hours. Consume within 24 hours for best results.

What is Ora King salmon and why is it premium?

Ora King is the pinnacle of King Salmon quality, served by renowned chefs like Daniel Boulud and Nobu Matsuhisa. King Salmon has the highest oil content and omega-3 fatty acids of all salmon species, creating a rich, buttery texture and elegant balance of sweet and umami flavors. Ora King salmon makes up only 0.7% of the global salmon population.

What is the difference between Atlantic and King salmon?

King Salmon (Chinook) has higher fat content, richer flavor, and the highest omega-3 levels of all salmon species. Atlantic salmon is more widely available and offers consistent quality year-round. Both are sustainably farmed and flash-frozen for peak freshness.

Can I use Ora King salmon for sushi and sashimi?

Yes. Ora King salmon is sashimi-grade quality and can be eaten raw or cooked. However, there is no official 'sushi-grade' or 'sashimi-grade' certification. Our Ora King salmon is handled with the highest food safety standards and is safe for raw consumption.

What cooking methods work best for your salmon?

Our salmon is versatile and can be pan-seared, oven-roasted, grilled, or used raw for sushi and sashimi. For pan-searing with crispy skin, pat dry before cooking. For oven-roasting, bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes. The high oil content keeps salmon moist and reduces the risk of overcooking.

Why is Ora King salmon more expensive than other salmon?

Ora King salmon is premium because it represents the pinnacle of King Salmon quality with the highest oil content and omega-3 levels of all salmon species. It is fed a specialized diet formulated by feed experts and raised in pristine New Zealand waters. The belly (Toro) and top loin (Saku) are the most prized cuts, which is why sushi restaurants charge $10+ per piece.
