Char

Arctic char is often referred to as the "queen of the mountains," a title that reflects the high regard it has held in society throughout the years. The fish has delicate, pinkish-red flesh and a mild, clean flavor. This ancient Arctic species has become a sought-after ingredient for both food enthusiasts and professional kitchens alike.

An ancient fish shaped by mountain waters

Many consider the Arctic char to be the quintessential ancient species among our freshwater fish. It is believed to be the first species to migrate into the country after the ice retreated approximately 10,000 years ago. The char grows slowly in the cold, clear water. Its skin is exceptionally bright, influenced by the water quality; the clearer the water, the brighter the fish. These natural conditions, combined with high standards of animal welfare and careful monitoring, give the fish the characteristic quality and delicate flavor for which it is known.

With its fine texture and mild flavor, Arctic char is a versatile ingredient. It can be pan-fried, baked, grilled, smoked, or served raw – and often requires nothing more than simple accompaniments to truly shine.

Good fish welfare is important to us

The goal is to minimize stress and suffering for the fish throughout the production run. This is achieved through abundant access to clean, oxygen-rich water, the right temperature and low fish density in the cages. The natural environmental adaptation contributes to the good health and natural behavior of the fish. Our fish are not exposed to sea-lice and there are no diseases, hence there is no need for vaccination or medication in our production. This ensures a clean, sustainable and natural product of the highest quality — right from the mountain water to the consumer.
