Omega-3 Power Box

In accordance with NOAA FishWatch guidelines, Maine Lobster Now proudly serves sustainably and responsibly-sourced seafood products to our customers. All 3 salmon in our Omega-3 Power Box are uniquely sourced:

Ora King Salmon: The only Ora King Salmon in the world comes from the crystal-clear waters off the coast of New Zealand. The breeding program begins at a freshwater facility where Ora King Salmon eggs are nurtured in flowing waters; this is known as the broodstock. From there, fertilized eggs hatch at another freshwater facility within New Zealand. Within the first year of life, the smolt are transported to an aquaculture facility where Ora King Salmon can mature in fast-flowing sea water, emulating the natural life cycle of wild King Salmon.

Sockeye Salmon: Our Alaskan Sockeye Salmon are wild-caught and sustainably sourced from the Northwest Pacific Ocean off the Alaskan coast.

Icelandic Char: Our Icelandic Arctic Char is sourced directly from Samhrji, who utilizes a responsible land-based aquaculture facility that is 100% traceable and sustainable with green renewable energy. We selected this vendor because they create a low carbon footprint and feed non-GMO products to their fish, with no added growth hormones or antibiotics to maintain superior quality and taste. Read more about Samherji and their sustainability practices here.

Seafood is widely regarded by medical experts and dieticians to be healthy, providing nutritional benefits not found in other meat sources. We specifically bundled these 3 amazing salmon to showcase their wealth of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to help lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases, as well as some types of cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

Ora King Salmon: Ora King Salmon is highly beneficial to your health, just as other species of salmon. A 3 oz. serving of salmon contains just 60 calories and 10 grams of fat, while offering a whopping 17 grams of protein. Salmon is an excellent source of vitamin B12 to help regulate cells.

Sockeye Salmon: Sockeye Salmon is often included on lists of the best “superfoods” you can find and for good reason. A 3 oz. serving of salmon contains just 60 calories and 10 grams of fat, while offering a whopping 17 grams of protein. Salmon is an excellent source of vitamin B12 to help regulate cells.

Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Salmon

Storage: Keep frozen ≤ 0℉ (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain their quality for at least 6 to 12 months. Lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish). It is important to note seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing instructions: Thaw under refrigeration ≤ 38℉ (3℃). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging. For quick-thawing, place frozen fish in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until the contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture the package). Regardless of the chosen thawing technique, once the product is thawed, it should be cooked within 24 hours and stored at a temperature no higher than 38℉ (3℃).

Cooking Wild-Caught Salmon

All of our fish products can be served in a variety of ways. You can follow your own household recipe or find plenty of fish recipes online.

Please be Aware: Consuming raw or undercooked fish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
