~200 kcal · 20 g protein · 13 g fat · very high in omega-3, vitamin D and B12
Rich, buttery and exceptionally high in omega-3 and vitamin D.
Nutritional values are approximate, per 100 g raw edible portion, and vary with size and season. This is general information, not medical or dietary advice.
Sear skin-side down for crisp skin, roast, or serve raw as sashimi. Salmon is forgiving — but pull it while the centre is still slightly translucent.
Goes well with: Dill, lemon, soy, ginger, butter
Every order is cleaned to your preference — scaled, gutted, filleted, cut into steaks or left whole. Choose at checkout.
Keep on ice or in the coldest part of the fridge (0–4 °C) and cook within 2 days of delivery. To freeze, pat dry, wrap tightly and freeze at −18 °C; use within 3 months. Never refreeze fish that has thawed.
Keeps: 2 days refrigerated · 3 months frozen
Every fish is looked over by hand before it is packed. These are the four things we check, and they are the same four you should check when it reaches you.
Then it is packed. On ice, in a sealed EPS cooler that holds cold for up to 72 hours. Mombasa goes the same day by rider; everywhere else travels by express courier or bus.
Do these four checks yourself when it arrives. If any of them fails, send one photograph within 24 hours and we replace the item or refund it — we never ask you to send fish back. Read the guarantee.
No. Salmon is a cold-water fish and does not live in these waters. Ours is imported, and we label it clearly so our traceability claim on everything else stays honest.
Because it is imported and cold-chained the whole way. If you want the same omega-3 for a sixth of the price, buy una — Indian mackerel — instead.
