Skuna Bay Salmon
Skuna Bay Salmon exists for one reason – to help feed the world and in doing so reduce pressure on wild fish stocks. Their fish are fed healthy natural ingredients, live in ocean pens that are 98.5% water so they enjoy their space and can swim, and once a pen is harvested it is allowed to lie fallow to recover a balance with the natural environment.
