Mount Cook King Salmon Review: Best Japanese Cuisine Experience in New Zealand
After a month, it’s time for another exciting king salmon review. This time, I decided to try both types: Sanford and Mount Cook. The Sanford salmon stands out with its noticeably lighter color, while the Mount Cook variety is darker, almost reminiscent of rainbow trout. The flavor of the Mount Cook isn’t as robust, but the overall texture is quite chewy, which adds a unique dimension to the eating experience.
I opted for the midsection near the head, and I must say, the fat layer is absolutely divine. It imparts a sweet, rich taste that permeates every bite. Because it’s the midsection, it remains satisfying no matter how you prepare or eat it, never getting tiring.
Lastly, a bit off-topic: Many people often have frustrating experiences when buying salmon, struggling to get the parts they truly enjoy. A great solution is to consider purchasing from a live stream where you can customize your order. While the price might be a bit higher, the ability to choose the specific part ensures a much more enjoyable and hassle-free experience. Recently, I’ve been specifying the parts I want, and the fish I receive are always stunning [sly smile].
Mount Cookのサーモン、食べたことあります！確かに軽い味わいで嚼むほどに風味が出てくる感じが印象的でした。日本料理として提供されているのはとても興味深いですね。次回はSanfordの軽やかなタイプも試してみたいです。
I totally agree that Mount Cook King Salmon offers an incredible Japanese cuisine experience in NZ. The freshness of the salmon really elevates every dish, and the attention to detail in the preparation is impressive. Have you tried pairing their dishes with local wines? It’s a match made in heaven!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! I haven’t personally tried pairing their dishes with local wines, but that sounds like a fantastic idea. I bet the subtle flavors complement each other beautifully. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—happy dining!
