Is this salmon safe for raw Sashimi & Sushi?

Yes, absolutely! It is sustainably farmed in clean, controlled waters and fed a specific natural diet that eliminates the risk of parasites found in wild fish.

Raw Consumption: To experience it at its absolute peak for sashimi, sushi, or poké, consume raw within 24 hours of delivery.

Cooking: If enjoying after 2 days, cook thoroughly (bake at 180°C, grill, or pan-sear) for maximum flavor and quality.
How much usable meat do I get from a 5.0kg–6.0kg salmon?

A king-sized salmon of this caliber provides extraordinary value for large banquets or meal preppers:

Whole & Gutted: Ideal for baking whole as a dramatic dinner centerpiece that easily serves 18 to 22 guests.

Professionally Filleted: Yields two massive, boneless sides of salmon. Use the thick top-loin for sashimi, the middle section for gourmet fillets, and the tail for tartare or stir-fries.
How should I store and freeze my fresh salmon?

Fridge Storage: Keep sealed in your refrigerator at 0°C to 4°C and enjoy within 48 hours for maximum freshness.

Home Freezing: Because this salmon is delivered 100% fresh and never previously frozen, it is perfect for home freezing. Cut fillets into individual portions, wrap tightly in cling film or vacuum bags, and freeze for up to 3–4 months. Thaw slowly in the fridge overnight before cooking.
Is this salmon delivered fresh or frozen?

It is delivered 100% fresh, raw, and heavily chilled on ice at 0°C to 2°C. It has never been commercially frozen, allowing you full flexibility to eat it fresh or freeze it at home.

What is the difference between Whole and Filleted options?

Whole & Gutted' means the fish is eviscerated but kept whole (head and tail on). 'Professionally Filleted' means our team will cut the fish into two large sides, removing the spine and pin bones so it is ready for slicing.

Does the filleting process reduce the final weight?

Yes. The 5.0kg–6.0kg weight range is the gross weight of the whole fish. Selecting 'Professionally Filleted' removes the head, frame, and tail, leaving a net yield of pure prime meat equal to around 60%–65% of the original weight.
