Nestled in the pristine Southern Alps of New Zealand, Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon offers an unparalleled culinary experience with its Freshwater King Salmon. Raised in the swift, cold currents of glacier-fed canals, these salmon embody the purity and vitality of their environment, resulting in a product of exceptional taste and quality.

The salmon thrive in constantly flowing, highly oxygenated water sourced directly from the glaciers of Aoraki/Mt. Cook National Park. Approximately 2 million gallons of this pure water pass through the farms every minute, creating a habitat that mirrors the salmon's natural conditions.

Emphasizing minimal human intervention and low stocking densities, Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon ensures that each fish has ample space to grow and thrive. The salmon are hand-fed with sustainable, GMO-free feed, and the farm's practices eliminate the need for antibiotics or pesticides. This commitment to responsible farming has earned them a "Best Choice" green rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program.

The constant swimming against strong currents results in salmon with fine intramuscular fat lines, translating to a subtle, clean taste and delicate texture. Rich in healthy omega-3s and free from antibiotics and pesticides, Mt. Cook Alpine Salmon is not only a gourmet delight but also a nutritious choice.
