Salmon Fillet, Sashimi Grade, Extra Large 5-6kg

Sashimi Salmon Fillet XL is a whole sashimi-grade salmon fillet weighing 5 to 6kg — an extra-large whole side of the finest raw-consumption salmon, ideal for a sushi catering event, a professional kitchen or a serious home occasion. Sashimi grade salmon fillet XL is the professional catering format. As a result, at 5 to 6kg this provides sufficient sashimi for 20 to 30 people as part of a mixed sashimi platter. Furthermore, the extra-large side allows clear separation of the belly, the back loin and the tail sections — each suited to different preparations. In particular, the belly of a large salmon has the richest marbling and represents the most prized section for sashimi.

About Sashimi Salmon Fillet XL

We source our sashimi-grade and sushi-grade seafood from specialist Japanese and international suppliers who maintain the cold chain and handling standards that raw consumption demands. In particular, sashimi grade is not a regulated term — it is a commitment by the supplier to a standard of freshness, handling and parasite control that makes the fish safe and outstanding to eat raw. As a result, we work only with suppliers whose standards we have verified and whose products professional sushi chefs trust and use. Furthermore, every product in this category arrives in the correct frozen or chilled state for safe raw consumption. However, safe sashimi requires correct defrosting and immediate consumption once thawed. In particular, we select each species for its flavour profile, texture and suitability for raw serving. Additionally, the Japanese tradition of appreciating each fish on its own terms informs every selection we make. That commitment to authentic quality drives every sourcing decision. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Sashimi Salmon Fillet XL From Us

Serving sashimi and sushi-grade seafood well requires confidence, a sharp knife and an understanding of how each species behaves at the cutting board. In contrast to cooked seafood, raw fish demands precision above all else. As a result, a sharp knife that glides through clean cuts is the most important tool in any sashimi preparation. Furthermore, temperature matters enormously — serve immediately after slicing while the fish is still very cold but not frozen. However, defrost all frozen sashimi products overnight in the fridge rather than at room temperature. In particular, slice against the grain of the muscle for the most tender result and the cleanest presentation. Moreover, high-quality soy sauce, freshly grated wasabi and pickled ginger are the only accompaniments most species need. Additionally, serve on cold plates or a chilled slate to keep the fish at the correct temperature throughout. That attention to temperature and technique separates outstanding sashimi from an ordinary one.

How to Serve Sashimi Salmon Fillet XL

To get the very best from it:

• Keep refrigerated and butcher on the day of use into sections — belly, loin and tail — for different preparations.
• Slice the belly section thinly for the richest sashimi; use the back loin for nigiri and hand rolls.
• Furthermore, sashimi grade salmon fillet XL suits a sharing sashimi board at a catering event where guests help themselves to freshly sliced pieces.
• Additionally, cure the tail section with salt, sugar and dill for a gravadlax preparation that uses the whole fillet with no waste.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger for classic sashimi service
• Seasoned sushi rice for nigiri and hand rolls from the loin sections
• Salt, sugar and dill for a gravadlax preparation from the tail
• A Champagne, crisp Chablis or a junmai sake alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days of delivery. For the finest sashimi result, consume on the day of arrival. Furthermore, keep as cold as possible without freezing until the moment of serving. However, do not refreeze once delivered in chilled condition. Delivered chilled and ready to slice.

However you serve it, Sashimi Salmon Fillet XL brings a quality and purity that only carefully sourced sashimi-grade seafood can deliver. Moreover, the finest raw fish always rewards the sharpest knife and the simplest presentation.
