A salmon from Skagen Salmon is raised in a controlled environment on land where the risk of external diseases and parasites is eliminated. This means that no harmful chemicals or pesticides are used. The farming method makes it possible to farm a salmon that is:

The fact that it is guaranteed parasite-free means that it is exempt from freezing requirements and can be consumed raw, without having been frozen first.

In other words, you can enjoy one of nature's best sources of Omega 3 without worrying about anything else.

In addition to its purity, our salmon excels in its firmness. In the land-based facility, a constant supply of oxygen ensures a natural water current that the salmon swim against. This active lifestyle strengthens the salmon's musculature, resulting in a firm meat structure that is juicy and delicate in texture. At the same time, the increased activity results in a lower fat content than in traditionally farmed salmon.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that the body needs to maintain healthy function but cannot produce on its own. Therefore, it is necessary to get Omega-3 through the diet, and salmon is one of the richest sources.

Although the fat content in a Skagen salmon is lower than in traditionally farmed salmon, the concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids is high. When the salmon swims against the current, muscle mass increases and the total fat content decreases. In this process, the saturated fatty acids - the unhealthy fat - are reduced and the concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids increases. This is because these polyunsaturated fats are a stable part of the fish's fatty acid profile.

The exercise thus results in a healthier fish with a lower total fat content, but still with a high level of the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids.
