Strong and tasty

Salmon have spent their entire life swimming against the current. Just like wild salmon. This has made the salmon strong, given the meat a firm structure and a lower fat content than traditionally farmed salmon.

This has made Skagen Salmon a preferred ingredient for many leading chefs.

Unfortunately, in traditional salmon farming, lice are a well-known problem. We don't, as we raise salmon in a closed environment. Thus, treatment against sea lice with e.g. chemicals is not relevant at all.

Salmon is one of the best sources of the healthy omega 3. Here you can get your omega 3 without worrying about the purity of the raw material.

Gentle on the marine environment

Traditional ocean farming of salmon results in a significant release of nitrogen into the marine environment via the salmon's feces and uneaten feed. Too much nitrogen is extremely harmful because it leads to increased algae growth, muddy bottoms and increasing oxygen depletion. This problem is solved by land-based farming.

In Skagen Salmon's facility, the salmon swim in water from the Skagerrak. The water is constantly circulated between salmon tanks and a purification process involving UV light, mechanical filters and biological filters. This removes more than 90% of all nitrogen and phosphorus before the water is recirculated to the sea.

The purification process separates sludge, which is sent to biogas on the other side of the road. Here it is used to create renewable energy.

With land-based farming, we also don't risk farmed salmon escaping the nets. When this happens in marine fish farms, there is a risk of 'fauna pollution'. Among other things, the escaped salmon will compete with wild salmon for the available food in the area. In the case of large salmon escapes, this can be a serious threat. Furthermore, escaped salmon can spread diseases such as salmon lice to the wild population.
