What's the difference between regular and organic Norwegian Salmon?
For a salmon to be classified as organic, it must be farmed to the EU organic regulations and audited by DEBIO. Organic salmon is fed with maritime feed made from offcuts from fish derived from MSC certified sustainable fisheries. Salmon from Norway is raised in cold, clear, good quality waters in the fjords. They grow at their own pace and reach 4-8kg in just 12-18 months. Salmon from Norway has a pure fresh taste, with fat marbling and an attractive red-orange colouring. High content of marine oils makes organic salmon a good source of EPA and DHA.

We've started planting trees
Both the regular and organic salmons we offer have a great environmental track record. However that only helps locally, in Norway. We still need to fly it over which represents significant carbon emission implications. To try and offset some of this impact, we're in an ongoing partnership with a local NGO, Greenpop. Together, we are planting one tree around the coastal fishing community of Gaansbaai for every 10 boxes of salmon fillets we sell.
