INDUSTRY LEADERS
Best in Class

Kvaroy Arctic
What today is called Kvarøy Arctic was founded in 1976 by Alf Olsen, a fish farming pioneer in northern Norway, and his son, Geir.

They continue to build Kvarøy Arctic as it was envisioned by its founders: offering salmon of very high quality, without compromising either the environment or the welfare of the fish.
Taylor Shellfish
It all began in Totten Inlet with the tiny Olympia Oyster. Their great great-grandfather found his true calling in oyster farming, which started their legacy that lives on today.
