Storage

Fresh New Zealand King Salmon must be stored in the refrigerator immediately upon arrival. Unlike other species of salmon/salmonoids, King Salmon from this specific farm is naturally parasite-free. For raw consumption, eat within 1-2 days. Any longer, the portion will be searing, poke, or cooking grade.

You can also freeze these portions immediately upon arrival and store for up to one week for sashimi use or 10 days for poke, searing, and cooking preparations (keep in mind that freezing sashimi grade fish diminishes the quality of the meat as the cell membrane is not well maintained in conventional home freezers). For best results, eat properly stored frozen portions within 1-2 months of arrival.

Defrosting

Keep product in package, place in cold water for 15 to 30 minutes, until thawed. Pat dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate and consume within 24 hours.

Pro Tip: Keep product in package, defrost in running water. Once thawed, remove from package, pat dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate and consume within 24 hours.

This exceptional salmon is renowned for its vibrant orange flesh and luxuriously buttery, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. Our Big Glory Bay King Salmon offers an unparalleled culinary experience with its robust, large flakes and velvety mouthfeel. Distinguished by its subtle yet rich flavor, it owes its decadent quality to its naturally occurring fat marbling.
