Flavour Profile: Savor the Delicate Richness, farmed Arctic Char
Delight in the exquisite taste of our Farmed Arctic Char. Raised in the pristine waters of Iceland, our char boasts a unique flavor profile that sits between trout and salmon, with a richness reminiscent of sockeye salmon. The flesh is a beautiful deep red, with fine flakes that cook to a delicate pink. The thin, delicate skin crisps up beautifully and is completely edible.

Our Arctic Char is raised in a flow-through system, ensuring optimal health and producing the highest quality fish. This sustainable farming method allows us to offer this delectable delicacy year-round.

Our Farmed Arctic Char is incredibly versatile. Its delicate flavor and texture lend themselves beautifully to a variety of cooking methods. We highly recommend smoking, broiling, pan-frying, sautéing, baking, BBQing, steaming, and poaching.
Fun Facts: Charmed by Char, fun Facts from Iceland
Did you know that Iceland is the world's largest producer of Farmed Arctic Char? Our pristine waters and geothermal heat create the perfect environment for raising this delicacy. Our farms utilize local char species, carefully selected and raised to ensure the purest Icelandic lineage. Char are social creatures, and we ensure their well-being by raising them in groups – they need their friends! Interestingly, the vibrant red color of their flesh comes from the shrimp they feed on.
