“With our feed, we have restored the natural Omega-3 levels of salmon.”
Vidar Gundersen / Biomar / Director of Global Sustainability
Kvarøy Arctic salmon has more omega-3 content than any other farmed salmon and equal to wild. This has been achieved naturally through pioneering work with Corbion to use fermented microalgae as a sustainable source of omega-3s. Instead of dragging large nets across the ocean for small feeder fish, Kvarøy Arctic is deriving omega-3s directly from the microalgae the small fish would consume. The food chain is bypassed, enhancing the wild fish population. The non-GMO algae oil is efficiently produced using energy from spent sugar cane biomass. Nothing is wasted.
Kvarøy Arctic salmon is officially certified by the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check Program, giving consumers peace of mind that what they are consuming meets the nutritional requirements of the American Heart Association. Just one 3.5-ounce serving of Kvarøy Arctic salmon has over 2,000mg of omega-3s exceeding the weekly recommended goal.
How Salmon
Is Supposed
To Taste
Kvarøy Arctic’s raw salmon naturally has an immediate marine flavor – crisp and bright like our waters with a slight brininess of the sea. These unique and desired characteristics combine to form the “umami” in this fish, its mouthwatering savory quality. The color of the flesh is medium orange. This is natural coloring from astaxanthin, a carotenoid found in krill and algae, which is also a powerful antioxidant.
Kvarøy Arctic salmon is mild, easy to prepare, and won’t dry out. The scales and skin cook up crisp and fresh. The flesh is semi-firm to firm; naturally rich with no residual oiliness on the palate, providing a beautiful mouthfeel that will appeal to seafood lovers everywhere. (But if you get the chance, come to our restaurant on Kvarøy. Best. Seafood. Ever.)
For us, taste is not just a matter of taste, it’s a measure of success. We only succeed when our responsibly farmed salmon tastes like…pure salmon.
