Our story

The New Zealand King Salmon company was a pioneer in marine salmon farming in New Zealand, utilising King salmon stock introduced from California over 100 years ago. We have been growing and selling King salmon to consumers in Aotearoa and overseas for over 35 years. We have a well-established domestic market share along with a successful history in offshore markets.

We believe our key points of difference are the rare species of salmon that we produce and the high-quality premium brands that we have developed. We’re proud that our Ora King brand has ensured that we are one of the first protein companies in the world to achieve branding through to the restaurant menu.
