Every Frøya salmon loin we sell is sashimi quality and can be eaten raw. The difference between the two cuts is where on the fish they come from.
| Backloin 180g | Midloin 300g | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it’s from | The thick top (back) of the fillet | The centre of the fillet, towards the belly |
| Texture | Firm, lean, even | Slightly fattier and juicier |
| Best for | Neat sashimi and nigiri slices with no waste | Sashimi, poke, and the oven, pan or grill |
| Order | Frøya backloin 180g | Frøya midloin 300g |
Sushi lovers often pick the backloin, because it gives clean, even slices from the whole loin. The midloin’s extra fat gives a little more richness, and it stays juicy when cooked.
Slicing tips
- Keep the loin cold until just before slicing.
- Use your sharpest, longest knife and slice in one smooth pull, against the grain, about 5mm thick.
- Use a clean board you don’t use for raw meat or chicken.
- Once the pack is opened, eat it the same day or the next.
Both cuts are skinless, boneless and MAP-packed in Norway, with up to 14 days chilled shelf life at 0–2°C. Frøya arrives in air-flown batches, so check the product page for the next arrival and pre-order. More in our full Frøya guide and Frøya vs frozen Atlantic salmon.
