Wild or farmed salmon? Start with its origin
Wild catch and farming tell different stories. Ask about the specific origin, then choose the salmon that suits your dish.
By Schaap’s Vishandel · fishmonger since 1938
Not all wild or farmed fish is alike
The word wild or farmed alone is not enough to assess a product. Also ask about the supplier, origin and any certification of the particular fish.
Why we offer VÅRLAKS
A family farm in northern Norway raises our VÅRLAKS salmon. Its ASC certification stands for responsible farming. The film shows the fjords where the farmers work.
