Norwegian Salmon A HEALTHY PRODUCT Omega-3 Farmed salmon is a
good source for the marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that
reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease. More data accumulates
indicating that EPA and DHA also cut the risk for several other
conditions, for example: inflammatory diseases impaired brain
development depression insulin resistance Salmon is a source of
many important nutrients Seafood is nutritious, rich in
micronutrients, minerals, marine omega-3 fatty acids, very high
quality protein and several vitamins, and represents an important
part of a varied and healthy diet. The Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO) highlights Fish is a food of excellent
nutritional value, providing high quality protein and a wide
variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A and D,
phosphorus, magnesium, selenium and iodine in marine fish.
(www.fao.org/focus/e/fisheries/nutr.htm). The substantial library
of evidence from multiple studies using nutrients present in fish
and seafood in general, indicates that including salmon to your
diet will improve your overall nutrient status and may even yield
significant health benefits. In the face of increasing obesity and
decreasing health standards, governments and food and health
advisory bodies in Europe and the USA are actively encouraging
their populations to consume more fish as part of their diet.
Processed Salmon IMPERIAL CUT SMOKED SALMON This is a feast fit
for royalty! Our Norwegian Smoked Salmon Fillet Imperial Cut is a
select cut that is slowly smoked in oak wood for a superb taste.
Called Balik or Balyk, this tenderloin cut was traditionally
reserved for the Tsar and his court. COLD SMOKED SALMON Our secret
recipes have traveled through the generations and our salmon is
smoked following ancient Norwegian techniques to create a flavor
that is heady with fine wood smoke, and then dry cured by hand with
a special mix of sugar and salt. These products are intensely
aromatic and decadently smooth. GRAVLAX A rare delicacy that
originated in Scandinavia, this Norwegian smoked salmon is cured
using our special dill, sugar, and herbs mixture that is rubbed
into the prime cut of Superior Norwegian salmon. The mix is
removed, the now intensely flavored salmon filleted and cleaned. To
finish off the process, the salmon is slowly and lightly smoked,
which creates a flavor that characteristically earthy and
fresh.
Slide 9
Processed Salmon PASTRAMI CURED SMOKED SALMON Before this
delicious salmon is smoked, it has been rubbed with a cracked
pepper, coriander and spice cure, similar to spices used for
Pastrami meat. This creates a thin, pepper crust, making it a
perfect complement to our other traditional smoked salmons. Custom
smoked over hard wood, this salmon has a slightly peppery taste. We
use only Superior Grade whole salmon which is then filleted and
smoked. This is a true Nordic Specialty. NOVA LOX SMOKED SALMON We
use Superior Sashimi Grade Norwegian salmon to produce our
exceptional Nova Lox. Fillets are enriched in a flavorful recipe of
salt, evaporated cane juice, herbs and spices and then enhanced by
a light cold- smoking process using special wood. WE ARE ABLE TO
PRODUCE ANY SMOKED AND MARINATED SALMON PRODUCTS ACCORDING TO YOUR
REQUIREMENTS!

The name "trout" is applied to several varieties of salmon
fish. It comes in many different forms and has differing lifestyles
depending on several factors including environmental conditions.
Norwegian Salmon Trout is an appealing fish with its characteristic
red color, firm flesh and fine texture. It is the perfect choice
for the health conscious consumer: The fish meat is relatively lean
due to the fact that most of the fat is contained in the paunch and
easily disposed of. Orders Tel: +852 6504 4208 E-mail:
[email protected]@arctic-circlehk.com PREPARATION Salmon
Trout can be sliced or filleted. Fillets can be cold or hot smoked
and salted or sugar-salted. It can also be boiled, fried and
grilled. Trout meat is ideal for a variety of uses including sushi
and sashimi, wok dishes and casseroles. Cold smoked and hot smoked
trout can be used in buffets or added to salads, pasta and more.

Mackerel is a fast-swimming fish. In the summer it appears in
large coastal shoals as well as in the Skagerrak, the North Sea and
the South Norwegian Sea. They live up to 20 years eating mostly
small fish such as young cod, herring and sprats. The firm, dark
flesh of the mackerel is fatty and rich with a strong, sweet
flavor. The high fat content of the meat should not deter you -
most of this is "good" fat rich in Omega-3 oils only a trace amount
is of the cholesterol variety. Mackerel is a scale less fish the
skin is edible. Orders Tel: +852 2501 5811 Fax: +852 2501 5211
E-mail: [email protected]@chefsgarden.net PREPARATION
It's a good idea to complement the rich, fatty meat with acidic
ingredients like citrus- or tomato-based sauces or marinades. You
can do almost anything with mackerel - the firm flesh is great when
hot smoked and it broils, grills, bakes, poaches, and sauts nicely.
It can also be minced and used as the base ingredient for
Thai-style fish cakes. Tip: When using salted mackerel, soak it
overnight in cool water to reduce the saltiness. Mackerel is very
commonly used in Japanese restaurants as Sushi toppings and Sashimi

Cod is found in the North Atlantic and generally lives up to
age 40. Cod is distinguished from other white fish by the
exceptional texture of its flesh. White, delicate and flaky, it is
also quite lean, since the cod stores excess fats in its liver, not
in its muscles. Norwegian Cod is recognized in gastronomic circles
for the taste of its delicate flesh, which lends itself to a
multitude of preparations PREPARATION Cod is a flaky fish and is
good fried, baked, poached and smoked. Slow cooking also works well
to coax out the delicate flavors. Traditionally, it is served with
lemon wedges and a light sauce composed of parsley. You can easily
add it to stews, risottos and soups as well. No matter how you
decide to prepare your fish by poaching, broiling, grilling,
stewing, etc. - make sure not to overcook it. Think 8-10 minutes

Scallops are living in shells anywhere from 7 to 12 inches in
width. Sea scallops have two small wings near their hinges. The
shells may have reddish stripes or may be a solid off-white. Inside
the shells are the white abductor muscle (the meat of the scallop),
its pale orange reproductive glands, its eyes (all 50 of them),
gills, and digestive apparatus. PREPARATION Scallops can be eaten
raw, sliced into disks of about 1/6th of an inch, and served with
lemon wedges and salt or with a Japanese dipping sauce such as soy
sauce with wasabi. Scallops can also be sauted, grilled, boiled,
poached, or breaded and fried. They are best when cooked briefly.
Overcooking will toughen them. NUTRITION FACTS Nutritional value

The Norwegian Great Scallop (Diver Scallop) is a truly
exceptional product one of the largest shellfish found in the
country. Measuring up to 17 cm in diameter, it is impressive in
both size and quality. In fact, there are only 35 scallops per
kilo; the meat alone weighs in at 3050 g. It is generally harvested
by hand by professional divers at depths between 10 and 30 meters.
This method is quite respectful of both the ocean waters and the
scallops. In effect, hand-harvesting allows the scallops to be
collected without stress and perfectly intact, unpenetrated by
sand. PREPARATION The Norwegian Giant Scallop, excellent raw, is
prepared in wide variety of ways. It is as flavorful marinated and
thinly sliced in Carpaccio as lightly fried or au gratin in its
shell. NUTRITION FACTS Nutritional value per 85g of Scallop meat

Just as fruits, vegetables and wines reflect their point of
origin, so is the prawns flesh conditioned by its environment. The
Arctic Shrimp (Norwegian Wild Prawn) presents a slightly sweet
flavor, with a touch of slat that clearly distinguishes it from
both cultivated and warmer water prawns. The Norwegian Wild Prawn
boasts a firm and meaty flesh, rich in vitamin B12, fat- soluble
vitamins A, E and D and mineral salts. Although quite lean, they
are rich in Omega-3. PREPARATION In Norway, Norwegian Wild Prawns
are traditionally served whole in a large bowl, so all can help
themselves, peeling the prawns at the table. They are savored in
the simplest manner, on white bread slices with mayonnaise or
butter, garnished with only a hint of lemon juice: a true delight!
