Farmed Arctic Char
A tier
Farmed Arctic char is recirculating and cold-water pen production of Salvelinus alpinus designed for year-round fillets with consistent fat and mild flavour. Quality leaders deliver clean taste without the muddy notes of poor freshwater systems. Use for reliable restaurant service: pan-sear, roast, confit-style slow cook. Ask about feed and system type—closed systems can excel. Farmed char is the form most cooks outside the Arctic will actually buy.
