- Kvarøy, Norway


Kvarøy is a small, remote island just below the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway. With only 85 inhabitants and breathtaking views no matter where you look, Alf-Gøran Knutsen and his family have been pioneering salmon farming here since 1976. The icy, crystal-clear waters create the perfect conditions for farming the finest, highest-quality salmon!


The most remarkable thing about the salmon farm is the feed the fish are given. It’s specially made for Kvarøy and is the most sustainable feed available right now! It contains much less wild fish than other feeds and ensures a positive fish-in, fish-out ratio.

It contains much less wild fish than other fish feeds and ensures a positive fish-in, fish-out ratio. Alf and his family provide the perfect conditions for the salmon to stay healthy. The salmon swim in cages where they have 50% more space compared to other farms. These conditions are so optimal that there is no need for antibiotics, chemicals, or hormones. Simply put, it’s not necessary.
