Kitchen Notes
Faroe Islands salmon is renowned for its superior quality and taste. The geographical position of the Faroe Islands is ideal for farming Atlantic salmon. The remote location, pristine clear waters, cool steady sea temperatures, and strong currents create a unique opportunity to deliver a safe, healthy, and delicious tastining salmon. Ora King Salmon and other sushi grade salmons are also good choices. Avoid eating wild salmon raw. Togarashi is a spicy powdered assortment of dried chil peppers, orange peel, sesame seeds, Japanese pepper, ginger and seaweed.
