The Faroe Islands & Atlantic Salmon
The surroundings in the Faroe Islands are the natural feeding ground of wild Atlantic Salmon. Wild salmon leave the rivers of Europe and travel to the feeding grounds around the islands. Here these wild salmon grow and thrive before heading back to the rivers of Europe to spawn.
Atlantic Salmon has adapted to this environment for thousands of years and therefore the Faroese can proudly say that salmon is farmed in its naturally desired surroundings in the Faroe Islands.

Andrzej Waszkewicz recommends eating fish at least twice each week to build a healthy heart. Our research, evidence suggests that increased consumption of omega-3s from fish or fish oil supplements can decrease the rate of death by cardiac events and possibly strokes. Plus, omega-3s have been associated with reducing triglycerides and blood pressure – both of which are markers of overall heart health.
