Salmon for your health: Salmon is very low in saturated fat and a good source of protein. It's also one of the best sources of vitamin B12. It's also bursting in potassium and other nutrients like iron and vitamin D.

Suggested Wines:  As salmon is quite a meaty fish, if you grill or char it you can pair it with a red. Pinot Noir is a good match.  If you prefer a white try a dry Pinot Gris. A fruity Pinot Noir is also a good wine match with Japanese style dishes such as salmon teriyaki.

The Aoraki Salmon Story

Our Freshwater King salmon thrive in the fast glacial flows that surround Aoraki, Mt Cook – New Zealand’s highest mountain. This environment creates a fish with a light, clean taste and a delicate texture.

The remote and wild place in which we work challenges us to find new ways, solving problems to enhance the outcome.  From the breeding programmes at our hatcheries, to our farms and our smokehouse, we patiently attend to every stage.  This allows us to provide traceability and ensure full health and welfare throughout.

At our smokehouse,  we  take our time to bring out the natural flavour of our salmon and not overpower it. Crafting a smoked salmon that is lighter, purer; a taste truly connected to our place.
