SANFORD New Zealand Big Glory Bay Chilled King Salmon Slice is a premium, pre-packaged cut of King salmon (also known as Chinook salmon), farmed by Sanford in the pristine waters of New Zealand's Stewart Island.

• A Rare & Premium Species: King salmon is considered the premium of all salmonid fish. Less than 1% of global salmon production is New Zealand King salmon, making it a rare and highly sought-after species.

• Flavor & Texture: It is renowned for its rich, smooth, creamy flavor and tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. This is due to its high oil content and beautiful marbling, making it exceptionally flavorful and moist.

• The Producer: Sanford is a major New Zealand fishing and aquaculture company that owns and operates the Big Glory Bay salmon farm.

• The Origin: "Big Glory Bay" refers to the specific, remote location where the salmon are farmed. It is situated in the pristine coastal waters of Stewart Island, at the very bottom of New Zealand. The bay's pure, cold waters (around 14°C / 57°F) slow the salmon's growth, allowing it to develop its distinctive rich flavor over time.

• Sustainability & Awards: The farm is Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified. Its King salmon is the first ocean-farmed salmon to achieve the 'best choice' green rating from the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch® program. The brand has also won multiple awards, including a gold medal at the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards in 2023.

• Cooking: Its high-fat content makes it versatile and difficult to overcook. It is excellent for:

  • Sashimi and Sushi: Enjoyed raw due to its supreme freshness and buttery texture.

  • Grilling, Baking, or Pan-searing: The skin crisps up beautifully while the flesh stays tender and flaky.

  • Smoking: It also takes well to smoking, as seen in products like "Manuka Cold Smoked King Salmon".
