Mount Cook Alpine SalmonRaised by Snow. Revered by Chefs.
Not all salmon are created equal.
Raised in the glacier-fed waters of New Zealand's Southern Alps, Mt Cook Alpine Salmon is regarded as one of the purest salmon in the world. Grown in fast-flowing hydro canals fed directly by snowmelt from Aoraki / Mt Cook, the fish develop exceptional muscle tone, delicate marbling and a clean, refined flavour that has made them a favourite among leading chefs.
It's salmon the way nature intended.
