At The Kosher Marketplace, we have recognized a major need for fundamentally altering the way that our oceans are interacted with by people. As important to nutrition as fish can be (nearly 3 billion people rely on fish as a major source of protein), we believe that sustainable fishing is absolutely critical to the success of our planet. Human activities, led by overfishing, have seen the populations of fish species utilized by humans fall by half or so in the last forty years. When fish are taken from unhealthy schools, harvested by indecent methods or caught in quantities beyond a reasonable replacement rate, we threaten the future viability of our oceans for all of us. Ironically, although in need of far greater protections, it is estimated that only 3.4 percent of the oceans are protected and, of this minuscule amount, only part of that is effectively managed. It is imperative that we all do our part to preserve the beauty, harmony and wondrous gifts of the Earth’s oceans.
We strongly believe that the oceans are one of Earth’s greatest assets and, if properly protected and reasonably interacted with, its riches will live with us for all present and future generations to enjoy and benefit from. As such we are committed to a program here at The Kosher Marketplace as follows:
1. We will not sell any fish labeled as AVOID by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Program;
2. We will work solely with fishermen who catch fish from healthy schools, in ways that are completely discriminate, without the possibility of the capture of dolphins, whales or other unintended marine life, including juveniles;
3. We will partner with local watermen as much as possible, both helping them with their livelihood, while ensuring that our catch is the freshest, healthiest & tastiest, with the smallest carbon footprint left on the Earth; and
4. We will constantly work to educate ourselves on the best ways to protect and foster the health of the world’s oceans.

The world’s oceans comprise over 71 percent of the Earth’s surface. In addition this vast underwater world is home to more than one million species. We must cherish and protect it, nurture it and foster it, in a way that ensures its many gifts multiply and continue long into the future. We commit to doing our part, perpetually and lovingly.

This wonderful breed of King Salmon is sustainably raised in the South Island’s Marlborough Sounds in a country which, according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, is “characterized by strong (aquaculture) management systems and pristine marine and freshwater ecosystems.” These fish are raised as if they were wild, in large open ocean pens with strong currents. As a result, the salmon develop into strong, healthy fish which showcase the rarefied attributes of their lineage. They are raised free of antibiotics, chemicals, preservatives and their feed is free of GMO’s, dyes and artificial/synthetic colorants. The farm also utilizes extremely low stocking densities and has been judged to have absolutely no impact on “wild” fish stocks. As a result of all this, the Õra King Salmon has become the only ocean-farmed salmon to receive a green rating (reserved for only the most sustainably harvested fish) from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Õra King Salmon are rich and buttery with a large, moist flake and have almost as high a fat content as Wild King Salmon. Always sashimi grade, they are a delicious and healthy choice for almost any meal or occasion.
