A: Thank you for your interest in our C. Wirthy Blackened Salmon. While this product is not intended to be “hot” we can confirm there is pepper in the spice rub. Unfortunately, spice level is subjective to individual palate and we cannot advise if this is “too hot” for your family

A: I have people very sensitive to heat in my family (including myself) and we did not find this to be spicy. It just had nice blackened seasonings, but none of us felt any burning on our tongues.

A: Hi! I have a very low tolerance for spicy food and though it is subjective, I can stay that I did not find it spicy at all. Instead, it was just very flavorful.

A: The spice itself if flavorful, but on a scale of 1-10 of Spicy Heat, I would say 3-4. This product overall is not bland and very delicious!

A: Yes, C.Wirthy salmon fillets are perfect for grilling.

A: This salmon is responsibly farm raised and BAP 4-Star certified, meaning it meets the highest level of sustainability across the entire value chain.

A: No, C.Wirthy products are currently not gluten free certified.

A: C.Wirthy Atlantic Salmon items, including this product, do not contain shellfish.

A: Current packaging doesn’t have air fryer instructions, but we have new packaging coming soon that will include those! Pre heat air fryer to 350°F. Place salmon skin-side down in air fryer basket. Thawed: Bake 11-15 minutes. Frozen: Bake 17-20 minutes. NOTE: These instructions are only a guideline. Reference Air Fryer Instruction Manual.

A: No, all C.Wirthy salmon products are skin-on. Salmon skin is fully edible, can have high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acid, and is great for grilling! If you do not wish to consume the skin, the salmon should separate easily from the skin after cooking according to the package directions.

A: Our C.Wirthy Salmon is responsibly farmed-raised in Chile in ASC certified fisheries, many of which are located directly in the ocean. The fish farmers and their processing plants are systematically audited by High Liner Foods, C Wirthy’s parent company, before they can become a supplier to ensure they are meeting our sustainability standards. Sustainable seafood continues to be among the highest priorities for High Liner Foods as we look to feed a growing world population now and in the future. The strict criteria we use to define responsibly source wild-caught and farmed seafood is based on various certification schemes the Global Seafood Sustainability Initiative (GSSI) and industry experts assure will protect the integrity of the species, stock and environment.
