What you get

This is a 1kg chilled fillet of MOWI Norwegian fresh salmon, sashimi-grade. I paid ₩38,880, and the product page showed ₩3,888 per 100g — 29% off the ₩54,900 list price. The bag reads 생연어(노르웨이) 프리미엄 모위 생연어(횟감) 1kg — premium MOWI fresh salmon from Norway, sashimi-grade — 1,000g net weight, best before July 24, 2026, 100% Norwegian salmon.

I don’t shop for salmon and carry it home — I order it on Coupang Rocket Fresh. Place the order at night and it’s waiting at the door, chilled, by dawn the next morning. One thing to know: Rocket Fresh has a minimum order amount — per Coupang’s own announcement it’s ₩15,000, though a threshold like that can change. A single slab of salmon clears it easily, so you rarely bump into it; it’s when you’re adding just a carton of milk that it catches you.

What I make with it is salmon sushi. Slice the fillet thick, against the grain, lay it over rice, a little wasabi to taste. A full kilo feeds a family of four with plenty left over, and I grill the rest the next day. Since it’s sashimi-grade I eat it raw the day it arrives, and cook whatever’s left — that just sits easier with me.

Price details

Tip: Sashimi-grade salmon is best eaten raw the day it arrives. Keep it cold right up until you slice it, and cook any leftovers the next day.
