Our Products

Norwegian salmon

Our Norwegian Salmon is the original Norwegian salmon, Salmon Salar, which belongs to the North Atlantic salmon stocks. Since the Ice Age, the fish have migrated to the Atlantic Ocean from their breeding grounds in Norwegian rivers. These rivers are cold all year because of the inflow of water from the glaciers and melting snow.

Over thousands of years in a challenging climate, the salmon has evolved robust genes that are well adapted to our ice-cold water. Farmed salmon has been developed from genetic material from Norway’s best salmon rivers. We know that contentment is the basis for growth and quality. Therefore, our fish farmers ensure that the fish have plenty of space in their marine cages and receive the best feed on the market.

Norwegian Fjord Trout

The success story of Norwegian fish farming started with the Fjord Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). This species thrives extremely well in the Norwegian fjords where the rivers swellwithwaterfromtheglaciers andmeltingsnow. This ensures a lower salt content and excellent growing conditions for trout. The experience gained from farming Norwegian Fjord Trout laid the foundations for the technology that made farming of Norwegian Salmon possible ten years later.

Norwegian Fjord Trout's premium quality and taste makes it a highly preferred ingredient among both professional chefs and home cooks. Its meat is tender, rich in flavour, and boasts a beautiful white marbling and bright red hue, elevating any dining experience.

Icelandic Salmon

From the cold, pure waters of the fjords in Eastern and Western Iceland comes natural Icelandic salmon. In a remote environment our farmers keep it simple: no GMOs, no antibiotics, no hormones, and no mammalian or avian proteins. Just excellent salmon from an untouched place reared by Icelandic farmers who have fish in their DNA.

The Icelandic salmon is harvested and processed by a local facility to ensure optimal freshness due to Super Chilling technology, which chills the salmon down below the freezing point of water within an hour. Although the temperature of the salmon is below waters freezing point, it remains fresh and unfrozen. This process prevents rigor mortis and has the potential to extend the salmon’s shelf life. Additionally, the entire production cycle, from egg to harvesting and packing, is fully vertically integrated, ensuring complete traceability throughout the process.

Organic salmon and fjord trout

Our organic fish is produced with a technology, passion and care that ensure the fish welfare and health. We are proud to adhere to the rigorous standards set by EU organic regulations, ensuring that our salmon and trout meets the highest organic certification requirements.
