Ora King Salmon
The King of Salmon
The King salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) species makes up less than 0.5% of the global salmon population, yet is regarded by many as the pinnacle salmon species internationally.
King salmon boast bright silver skin. They have a rounder mid-section in comparison to the longer, thinner body of the common Atlantic salmon species, resulting in a generous fillet.
With an elegant balance of umami flavours and a soft and buttery texture, King salmon have a complex, yet delicate mouth feel that coats the palate appealingly, making it a pleasure to eat. King salmon have a bright, vibrant orange flesh color, which contrasts attractively with the marbled fat lines for unsurpassed plate appeal. The oil content in King salmon is one of the highest amongst all salmon species, not only delivering a wonderful mouth feel, but also delivering very desirable culinary and health qualities.
