Smoked Atlantic salmon

Are you pregnant? Then you can safely enjoy Fish Tales smoked Norwegian salmon, as long as you heat it thoroughly, for example in a casserole. This fits perfectly within the advice of the Dutch Nutrition Centre to eat fish twice a week during pregnancy. During your pregnancy, you can also enjoy our wild Sockeye salmon. For this type, it's better to eat the fish up to once a week and to heat it thoroughly.

Our Norwegian salmon is farmed by Alf and his team on the island of Kvarøy in Norway. Just like elsewhere, the salmon here grow up in large sea cages, but at Kvarøy they do things just a little differently. The cages are less crowded, giving the salmon up to 50% more room than at other farms. That doesn't just make for happier fish — it also means better-quality salmon.

And then there's something else that's unique: the feed. Specially developed for Kvarøy, it's the most sustainable fish feed available right now! That's because it contains far less wild fish than typical feed and results in a positive fish-in fish-out ratio. What that means: less wild fish goes in than farmed salmon comes out. So you're not just choosing delicious salmon — you're choosing an environmentally friendly, responsible option too! Want to know more about Kvarøy? Click here!

Atlantic salmon and Sockeye salmon are two completely different species, each with its own unique characteristics and flavor.

Atlantic salmon This type of salmon originally comes from European waters but is now almost always farmed. Our Atlantic salmon comes from a special farm in Kvarøy, Norway. It has a beautiful pink/orange color, a soft and slightly fattier texture, and a mild, creamy flavor. Due to its higher fat content, Atlantic salmon contains a bit less protein but offers more flavor.

Sockeye salmon Our Sockeye salmon is wild-caught in Alaska during the annual salmon fishing season in the summer. This salmon has a deep orange/red color, firm flesh, and a drier texture. Its flavor is intense and bold, making it a true favorite among connoisseurs who love pure, wild salmon.

You can immediately recognize Atlantic salmon from Norway: small, X-shaped black spots on its side and that beautiful red-pink fish meat. Our Norwegian salmon is carefully farmed and completely free from hormones and preventive antibiotics. When you cook with it, you serve only pure nutrients and a good portion of flavor.

Salmon is a fatty fish species and is packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA. These fish oils are great for your brain and support a healthy cardiovascular system. No wonder the dietary advice is to eat fish at least once a week, preferably fatty fish like salmon.
