Our Products

NZ Salmon products are developed in the Marlborough Sounds situated in the north of New Zealand's south island. The water is cool, clean and crystal clear; an ideal climate for salmon production.

The variety of salmon supplied is Chinook King salmon. It is spawned in tanks of spring water until 6 months maturation then released into the Sounds. Only 2.5% of the Marlborough Sounds sea farm volume is occupied by salmon, the other 97.5% is water allowing the salmon to thrive is the deep, unpolluted waters.

The feed is a replicate of a natural wild salmon diet containing fish meal, fish oil, land based animal protein and oil, vegetable proteins meals, vitamins, minerals and astaxanthin which is found naturally in algae and krill.

No antibiotics, growth hormones or chemicals are used to farm the salmon.

The fish is not only superbly fresh, the texture and flesh of the salmon which is systematically packed with Omaga 3's has minimal gaping. Each fish is is individually gill tagged and selected for the market.

Ora King salmon, a premium species of King salmon also produced in the Marlborough Sounds, has achieved the world leading Best Aquaculture Practises (BAP) certification from the Global Aquaculture Alliance
