As the region’s exclusive distributor of Skuna Bay Salmon, we’re very excited to announce that they are the world’s first salmon producer to be sourcing its fish from multiple farms that have received BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certification!

According to the Global Aquaculture Alliance’s website:

Best Aquaculture Practices is an international certification program based on achievable, science-based and continuously improved global performance standards for the entire aquaculture supply chain — farms, hatcheries, processing plants and feed mills — that assure healthful foods produced through environmentally and socially responsible means.

This is great news about an already great product.  In case you aren’t familiar with Skuna Bay Salmon, this is a perfect opportunity for us to let you know what sets it apart from other farmed salmon (in addition to the BAP logo you’ll start to see on their boxes…)

Raised by craftsman farmers with a passion for producing great fish, Skuna bay salmon thrive in the natural ocean waters of Nootka Sound.  Strong tidal currents help Skuna Bay Salmon grow strong and healthy.  The farmers live on site, constantly monitoring fish and the conditions of the farm.  But we don’t need to tell you all this; BAP certification speaks for itself!

What we do want to tell you more about is the impeccable quality of this product.  There’s no certification standard for “Craft Raised”, but you can count on getting some of the most carefully handled seafood on the market.   Skuna Bay Salmon is harvested in small batches, whisked off to processors and once it meets strict quality standards is packed into patented Thermaseal boxes, sealed with a tamper proof seal and never touched again until it reaches your kitchen!

We’d love to work with you to get this innovative salmon option on to your menu; check in with your Santa Monica Seafood Sales Representative to learn more!
