Discover Kvarøy Arctic, where three generations have perfected crafting the finest, cleanest salmon. From their Arctic home, Kvarøy prioritizes quality, sustainability, and health, ensuring the tastiest and most environmentally friendly fish products for you.
Beyond Tradition
Kvarøy Arctic, a third-generation family business, elevates sustainable salmon farming to deliver its renowned mild, buttery flavor worldwide. Their ASC-certified salmon boasts a semi-firm to firm texture, rich mouthfeel, and clean taste. With double the omega-3s, achieved naturally through non-GMO microalgae, Kvarøy bypasses the traditional feeder fish food chain, preserving wild populations. Utilizing energy from spent sugarcane biomass, their production process minimizes waste.
Revolutionizing Sustainability
Since 1976, Kvarøy revolutionized salmon farming, crafting sustainable practices that protect the environment and ensure animal welfare. With limited salmon supply, sustainable aquaculture enables us to savor top-quality seafood from healthy sources. Kvarøy's open-net pens maintain a 2% fish to 98% water density, fed with GMO-free diets sourced from MSC-certified fisheries. Their traceable ingredients ensure transparency. Using the Stingray laser system, they combat sea lice without harming the salmon, maintaining antibiotic-free populations in their pristine environment.
Community-Centered Sustainability
Located on a remote island in the Norwegian Inner Passage, Kvarøy is a tight-knit community of about 80 people, a third of whom work for Kvarøy Arctic. Committed to community development, they've built schools, initiated aquaculture education programs, and established scholarship funds. As a Fair Trade Certified operation, Kvarøy meets stringent environmental, social, and ethical standards while providing premiums to support community projects and education. Additionally, they hold certifications from Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), Global G.A.P., and the American Heart Association.
