Atlantic Salmon Fillets

A great aquaculture success story, the Atlantic salmon farming came into the commercial scene in the early 1980s in Norway. Now this salmon is farmed on a global basis in more than a dozen countries. Because of the success of international salmon farming, Atlantic salmon is available year-round to more people and often at more stable prices than its wild cousins. Farmed salmons start at 4 pounds, but fish up to 16 pounds are available.

Atlantic salmon are found in the wild, but not in huge quanities and are saved for the angling industry.
