Our King Salmon heads add mouthfuls of delicious, sweet and umami flavors to a variety of dishes! We love to use these heads to make soup fish stock! Each head is butterflied for easy prep.

These exquisite salmon are farm raised in the crystal clear waters flowing from Te Waikoropupū Springs of New Zealand. Through sustainable husbandry practices and a quarter century of breeding expertise, only the best quality salmon are hand selected and branded "Ora" King Salmon by a master grader.

The heads are butterflied for easy prep, then individually packed and shipped using overnight delivery. Our Ora King salmon are sustainably certified by the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) as well as recommended by Ocean Wise and the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.
