Careers

People are our difference

We consider ourselves lucky to farm Freshwater King Salmon in a remote, untouched environment. We let Nature take the lead. This means minimal human intervention and low stocking densities – giving our salmon space to grow and thrive. The result is a  salmon with a unique taste and texture all of it’s own – we call it Nature’s Finest Tasting Salmon.

We own our own hatcheries, farms, and processing facilities to ensure an unbroken chain of quality at every stage of the process. And we have a wealth of talented team members in each of these areas.

While we credit our taste to Nature, it’s the people behind the fish who play an integral part in our success. They have come from across New Zealand and the world to work for Mt Cook Alpine Salmon. They’re passionate, knowledgeable and care about every aspect of the business.  Everyone of our team become true ambassadors of this special fish.
