Skagen Salmon was founded in 2016 with a vision to develop the salmon farming of the future. In Skagen on the Danish west coast, the salmon are raised on land, in a closed and controlled system where seawater from the Skagerrak is purified and circulated through the facility.

In the land-based RAS system, water quality, oxygenation, and environment can be closely monitored. The salmon constantly swim against a natural water current, which results in a more active fish and contributes to the firm flesh structure that characterizes Skagen Salmon. Furthermore, the salmon is free from parasites and, according to the producer, can be eaten raw without first being frozen.
