Salmon has several health benefits. Having at least 2 servings a week can help you meet your nutrient needs and reduce the risk of several diseases.
Salmon is a great source of protein, healthy fats (omega 3 fatty acids), and various essential vitamins and minerals- potassium, selenium and vitamin B12 to name a few. Adding salmon to your diet can assist in weight management, help in regulating hormones, support brain health, improve thyroid function, manage blood pressure, boost metabolism and help reproductive health.

Salmon is low in mercury. Both wild and farmed Atlantic salmon have much lower mercury levels than most other fish species. Farmed salmon has on average, 0.05 micrograms of mercury per gram.
The red color in salmon is due to a natural pigment called astaxanthin, a carotenoid, which is added to their feed. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant which is a pigment which gives the salmon its characteristic pink to red-orange color. Wild salmon also get their color from astaxanthin, but they obtain it naturally by consuming krill and shrimp.

We sell wild Alaskan sockeye salmon, and we also sell farmed Atlantic salmon from Norway and Australia, as well as Silver salmon (Coho) from the Pacific.
When salmon is caught in the wild their diets are natural, which often results in a distinctively brighter colour. Our farmed salmon are fed controlled diets, free from antibiotics and are harvested in regulated environments. Farmed salmon tends to have a higher fat content than wild salmon
The difference lies in the temperature the salmon is smoked at, which results in a different taste and texture. Cold-smoked salmon is smooth, silky and tastes subtly smoky., Hot-smoked salmon is firm, meaty, flaky in texture and smokier tasting in comparison.
Our fresh salmon is certified sashimi grade. Within 72 hours of being harvested it is flown in to India and delivered to your home. During this process it is temperature controlled to retail taste and quality and not frozen.
