Akaroa Salmon is a family-run aquaculture venture based in the clear, cold waters of Akaroa Harbour on New Zealand’s South Island. Founded in 1985 by the Bates family, the business produces premium King Salmon using low-density, sustainable sea farming methods that allow the fish to grow slowly and naturally. Their salmon is known for its rich marbling, clean flavour, and is harvested with minimal stress, making it a favourite with chefs and seafood lovers across Aotearoa and beyond.
