The char is a tough native Arctic species which can live in cold, inhospitable waters. Our Icelandic Arctic char is farmed in Iceland without the use of antibiotics, the use of prophylactic medicines or using any land-animal by-products. Our producers use free flowing arctic waters from the Icelandic mountains mixed with clean geothermal waters to provide the perfect temperature for char growth.
