Skuna Bay Salmon

Skuna Bay Salmon

Skuna Bay salmon are raised in a natural ocean environment off the coast of Vancouver Island in the Nootka Sound. This area is the perfect environment to raise salmon given its glacier-fed waters from the Gold River, which flow into the Pacific Ocean and provide fast-flowing tides, cold, clear water and perfect salinity.

Skuna Bay’s Craftsman farmers live on the farm 24/7 and work daily to ensure the natural waters stay as pristine as when the farm was first established. Their farmers are wonderful stewards of the ocean; once fish are harvested from a Skuna site, that ocean location is allowed to rest and regenerate before being restocked. 33% of Skuna Bay’s farm sites are always in fallow, meaning farmers intentionally sacrifice potential farm use to protect the ocean environment.

Skuna Bay salmon live in a low pen density environment which consists of 98.5% water to 1.5% fish and do eat a diet of fish which are sourced only from 100% certified fisheries.

When ready for harvest, the salmon is selected by one of six approved salmon experts at a small, family-0owned operation by salmon professionals who have been grading salmon for over ten years. By using a 14 point grading criteria they ensure that only the very best salmon are chosen.

The Skuna Bay exclusive process of harvest, hand cleaning, selection and packing by their 6 approved salmon inspectors ensures that only the best 6% of harvest make the Skuna Bay standard.
