Is Your Salmon Wild Or Farm Raised? |

We do carry Wild Alaskan salmon. It is certified by the Marine Steward Council as such and is processed domestically in Alaska. We also carry Norwegian Salmon which is Aqua-cultured, The Norwegians have the highest standards in the world for raising fish and recently won the Gold Standard for this.

What Is Portion Control? |
|
Portion control is a twenty year old method of preparing food. The concept was initially developed so that restaurants could cut down on food preparation costs. At Gourmet Foods, we distribute our products to the public, by the portion rather than by the pound. Purchased this way, every item completely trimmed, individually wrapped and waste free, saves you time and money. It also offers you the convenience and flexibility of creating gourmet meals without lengthy preparation times or standing in line at the supermarket. Portion control, the portions come individually wrapped to seal in the flavor and to prevent waste because the fat, bone and skin are already trimmed away. You actually get the net weight on your plate instead of paying for waste. Flash frozen foods, according to food economists are the economical choice for you and your family. |

What Is Flash Freezing? |
|
Our food items are flash frozen and vacuum sealed in hermetically sealed packages. Flash freezing is the space age technology of quick freezing (usually within seconds). This locks in all the flavors, juices, vitamins and minerals and allows the products to keep for long periods of time. Each product is kept in this frozen state until it is thawed, ensuring that it will be just as fresh as when it was frozen. |
