Skagen Salmon
Innovative land-based salmon farming
Skagen is the headquarters of the high-tech and innovative company - Skagen Salmon. Here, quality salmon is produced in a land-based farm.
The company has a strong focus on sustainability and high quality, and the salmon is produced in an advanced Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). This system ensures both minimal environmental impact and optimal animal welfare by continuously recycling and purifying the water.
The company produces between 3,600 and 4,000 tonnes of salmon annually. The land-based farming method gives Skagen Salmon full control over water quality and temperature, resulting in salmon with a firm meat structure, a fresh flavour and a lower fat content. These qualities make the salmon particularly sought after by professional chefs and food enthusiasts.
Sustainability is a core value for Skagen Salmon
The company has specially designed the RAS system to protect both the environment and the salmon. This means that production is gentle and non-polluting to the natural marine environment, and the salmon are free from parasites such as sea lice.
To minimise environmental impact, Skagen Salmon uses advanced technologies, including ozone treatment, which helps maintain optimal conditions in the facility. This technology contributes to a cleaner aquatic environment while supporting efficient and sustainable production.
The company prides itself on delivering high-quality salmon to local markets and is constantly working to optimise its processes to ensure even more sustainable and responsible food production. With a strong focus on innovation and environmental considerations, Skagen Salmon is setting new standards for the future of aquaculture.
