Factories
Our two white fish factories are located on the waterfront which allows our vessels to deliver fresh fish directly into the factory each day. We use modern technology to fully utilize the fish and reduce waste. Our skilled factory team ensures we cut and portion within 10 hours of arrival whilst maintaining the highest quality and freshness.

Landbased Farming
Landbased farming allows us to closely mimic the natural life cycle of the arctic char. With full control over all variables such as temperature, water salinity, and oxygen levels we can provide optimal living conditions for the fish. This method creates minimal risk for wild species as there is no chance of escape and protects the surrounding environment due to its low carbon footprint and use of geothermal energy.
