They have a rounder mid-section in comparison to the longer, thinner body of the common Atlantic Salmon species, resulting in a generous fillet. King Salmon have a bright, vibrant orange flesh colour, which contrasts attractively with the marbled fat lines for unsurpassed plate appeal. King Salmon are naturally high in healthy Omega-3s – up to twice that found in Atlantic Salmon. This also greatly reduces the risk of over-cooking as the higher oil content keeps the Salmon moist.
