Carpaccio is a sophisticated dish of meat or fish, served raw and thinly sliced, often enjoyed as an appetizer. Originating from Venice in 1950, created by Giuseppe Cipriani at Harry's Bar, it has become a staple in fine dining. Our Ora King Salmon Carpaccio brings this tradition to your table with ease and elegance.
Convenience and Preparation This premium salmon carpaccio comes vacuum-sealed and frozen, capable of thawing in under an hour. It's exceptionally convenient for an appetizer, a light dinner, or even a gourmet picnic. All you need to do is add your preferred accompaniments—whether it's greens, capers, or onions—and it's ready to impress.
Why Ora King?
- Appearance: Ora King salmon are known for their bright silver skin and a robust, round mid-section, distinct from the leaner Atlantic salmon.
- Taste: Experience a harmonious blend of sweet and umami flavors, versatile enough to complement a broad range of dishes.
- Color: The vibrant orange flesh, marbled with fat, offers stunning plate appeal.
- Oil Content: With the highest oil content among salmon species, Ora King ensures a moist texture, reducing the risk of overcooking.
The Ora King Difference Ora King salmon, often regarded as the 'Wagyu of the Sea,' is sourced from less than 0.7% of the global salmon population, making it a rare and luxurious choice. Esteemed chefs like Daniel Boulud and Thomas Keller prefer Ora King for its rich flavor and superior fatty acid profile, abundant in Omega-3s.
Sustainable Practices Ōra King upholds rigorous standards:
- Feed: The salmon are fed a diet formulated to mimic the natural nutrients of wild salmon, using sustainable, non-GMO ingredients.
- Environment: Farmed in the isolated, pristine waters of New Zealand’s Marlborough Sounds, our operations prioritize biosecurity and environmental sustainability.
- Certifications: Ora King is proud to be recognized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch® and Ocean Wise, highlighting our commitment to sustainable aquaculture.
Thawing Instructions Keep frozen until ready to serve. For optimal freshness, open and thaw slowly in your refrigerator. Given its thin slicing, the carpaccio thaws quickly and is ready to enjoy in no time.
