Kvarøy Arctic is a family-run salmon farming operation located on Indre Kvarøy in Nordland, Norway. It was founded in 1976 by Alf Olsen and his son Geir and is now run by the third generation, maintaining a commitment to producing high-quality salmon while protecting the environment and fish welfare. The company collaborates on non-GMO feed development, achieving omega-3 levels that are higher than typical farmed salmon and maintaining a fish-in/fish-out ratio of 0.48 to 1. The flavor profile of its salmon is said to reflect the Arctic waters—cool, clear, and briny—contributing to a clean, crisp taste. In 2023, Kvarøy Arctic announced the appointment of Rune Mikalsen as Chief Executive Officer. The business serves culinary and retail markets that value responsibly farmed salmon with strong omega-3 content and evidence of environmental and welfare considerations.
