Our salmon

Superior quality

Salmon has long been hailed as a superfood for its nutritional and health benefits, but what is it that makes Cermaq salmon the superior choice? It's in our commitment to quality and food safety at every level, from traceable genetics through to delivery of delicious, healthy food.

Source of Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA

Cermaq salmon is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which supports heart, brain, and eye health. For a healthier source of protein and other essential nutrients, experts recommend replacing some meat meals with fish. Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein.

What is salmon quality?

A high-quality salmon has a high nutrient content, a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, has a high content of unsaturated fat, a firm texture, and a bright deep orange colour. At Cermaq, our definition of a high-quality salmon also requires that it has been raised in line with environmental and fish welfare standards.

What's in the feed

Just like us, the salmon is not dependent on particular food, but on particular nutrients such as amino acids, fats, vitamins and minerals.
