In southern Chile, between snow-capped peaks and deep-blue fjords, lies the Aysén region. It’s remote, wild, and stunningly pure. The cold, oxygen-rich ocean water flows straight from the Andes – the perfect place to raise Coho salmon. Here, nature sets the pace, and the people working along these shores treat it with the respect it deserves.
At Salmones Aysén, everything starts small – in their own hatcheries. The young salmon are carefully raised and only moved to sea cages when they’re ready. In the cool ocean waters, they grow strong and healthy. The team checks on the fish and the water every day. It’s not about speed or scale – it’s about quality, care, and doing things right.
Salmones Aysén is in full control – from hatch to harvest. That means every fish can be traced all the way back to its origin. With regular “open door” days for local communities, they show exactly how responsible salmon farming looks in practice. Transparent, sustainable, and honest – just the way it should be.
He’s been working in the salmon industry for over 15 years – and he loves it: “Being outdoors, working with living creatures, and helping bring good food to people’s tables – that’s what drives me.” At Salmones Aysén, David takes care of the fish with calm dedication. And when he’s not at work, he spends time with his children or visits his mother to recharge in the peace of nature he calls home.
Atlantic salmon is the most common in supermarkets. This is because it is abundantly farmed in Norway and therefore has a lower price. It's flavour is mild and the fish is very fatty, making it accessible for many dishes. Fish Tales sockeye salmon is wild caught in Alaska. It has a deep red colour and a very rich flavor. Coho salmon, like Atlantic salmon, is farmed. It's flavour is fuller than Atlantic salmon, with a firmer texture and a darker colour.
The Fish Tales Coho salmon is farmed in the Aysén region, in Southern Chile. The cold, oxygen-rich water flows straight from the Andes into the fjords, making it the perfect place to raise Coho salmon. If you want to find out more about the fishery, check out the fisheries page!
Are you pregnant? You can safely enjoy Fish Tales smoked Norwegian salmon, as long as you heat it properly, for example, in a casserole. This fits perfectly with the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment's advice to eat fish twice a week during pregnancy. You can also enjoy our wild Sockeye salmon during pregnancy. For this type, it's best to eat it up to once a week and ensure it is properly heated.
At Fish Tales, quality and safety come first. Every batch of salmon is thoroughly tested in a laboratory for harmful bacteria and other unwanted substances. After smoking and slicing, the salmon is vacuum-sealed, preventing any harmful contaminants from getting in. This guarantees a fresh and safe product that you can enjoy with peace of mind!
