The most legendary species of salmon: Revered for its holy magic by ancient civilizations, and considered divine for its holy taste by modern chefs…
No other fish has inspired as many Native American myths, legends, ceremonial dances, and religious festivals, as the North Pacific salmon. Since ancient times, Indians believed that it was their diet of salmon that made their minds quick, their muscles strong, and their bodies beautiful. Today, we have the evidence of science to back up the ancient wisdom of the Native Americans. Salmon’s benefit to the brain, the heart, and its role in preventing disease cannot be understated. But beyond health and medicine, North Pacific salmon is revered worldwide as a food whose taste cannot be surpassed.
At Luxe Gourmets, our mission is to bring fish lovers: “The best of the oceans.” For this reason, we have chosen the illustrious sockeye salmon of the Northern Pacific Ocean. Although the North Atlantic Ocean is also teeming with salmon, the Atlantic species lack the intense flavor, the deep red color, and the velvety texture found in wild Pacific sockeyes. The flavor of Luxe Gourmet’s DreamFreeze sockeye salmon is sweet and clean, and it produces the subtle taste of fresh butter when enjoyed raw. Cooking this amazing fish changes the flavor, adding an intensity that is rich and robust.
Gourmet chefs, and great connoisseurs of luxury foods prefer our Sockeye Salmon to other suppliers for a very important reason… Luxe Gourmets delivers Alaskan sockeye salmon to you just as fresh as when it was caught thanks to DreamFreeze technology that captures all of the natural taste and texture year around.
Just as the Bluefin is the king of the tuna world, “Otoro” is the queen jewel of the Bluefin.
Whether you are a professional sushi artist, an amateur Japanese cuisine chef, or simply a lover of sushi, you fit into one of two categories: those who have tasted Bluefin Otoro, and those who have not. If you haven’t tried this delicacy, no words or description can give you the experience. That is how special Otoro is.
Cut from the underbelly of the Bluefin tuna, Otoro is the part of the Bluefin with the softest texture, the highest omega-3-fat content, and the most enchanting taste. The marbling on this fish is exquisite, and some compare it to the finest cuts of beef.
Once you taste our Bluefin Otoro tuna, you will never forget it.
Hamachi, the “blushing angel” …One of modern cuisines’ most fashionable trends boasts of a unique flavor that is adored by chefs.
Hamachi - Yellowtail… also known as the “Blushing Angel” because its pure white flesh, resembling the complexion of an angel, gradually merges into flowering accents of deep rose-colored hues reminiscent of blushing cheeks. Hamachi’s sweet and innocent appearance gives a hint of the subtle effect it produces when first placed on the tongue. Its light, firm texture yields to the bite. Then, gradually, the rosy innocence of this delicacy vanishes as its meat begins to tease the tongue with a sudden boldness and exciting taste.
Hamachi is one of the most fashionable fish in Japanese cuisine today. It is extremely rich in healthy oils (so much so, that soy sauce is literally “repelled” from the flesh and won’t soak in). Many chefs are following the current trend to lightly broil or slightly grill Hamachi with an added spice of jalapeño peppers. When you order Luxe Gourmets’ frozen sashimi-grade Hamachi - Yellowtail, you can experiment with this trendy cooking style, yet we urge you to also sample this angelic fish as sashimi so that you don’t miss out on the unique complexity of its most natural essence. Enjoyed raw, Hamachi’s taste combines subtle delicateness with a rich and bold flavor: a cornucopia of perfumed nuances that enchant the tongue and tease the taste buds, only to surprise you at the very end. Hamachi has an exquisite finish. Once you swallow the Blushing Angel, its natural oils remain in your mouth, leaving you with an aftertaste that is immaculately refreshing and clean.
