Ōra King is the culmination of a classical breeding program that has spanned two decades and is designed to yield only the highest quality King salmon with the most appealing taste, texture and colour.
With responsible husbandry, selective grading and careful handling, the New Zealand King Salmon Company allows only its finest quality King salmon to be labeled Ōra King – those that best represent the superior culinary attributes of this unique breed.
To produce Smoked Ōra King, each whole fish is hand filleted and pinboned, brined with sea salt and brown sugar, then slowly cold smoked with native New Zealand manuka wood. Smoked Ōra King has no added nitrites or nitrates.
