Var Salmon, the best sushi-grade Atlantic salmon, chemical free, best price: 4kg fresh whole fish: the next best thing to wild Atlantic salmon you will find

Var salmon are raised by three brothers on a revolutionary farm in the clear, cold waters of the Faroe Islands, without all the usual chemicals, and with far more humane husbandry than the usual salmon farming. It has caught the eye of some of London’s leading chefs: Michel Roux Jr, Mark Hix and John Williams of The Ritz, for example, who named it ‘the best farmed salmon I have had’—and articles appeared in the Telegraph. It is now featured by name on London’s top restaurant menus.

Var—Nordic for ‘spring’—are raised in a cleaner, less-disruptive way, mimicking the salmon’s migration against the tide, for example, fallowing the seabed by moving the sea cages, reducing the usual pollution caused by chemicals and food waste, limiting salmon numbers, reducing mortality (‘mort’) rates and stress levels—even reproducing the salmon’s natural run upriver at the end of its life.

The techniques are high-tech, and though this is still salmon farming it is better than the rest by a long way, producing a finer quality of fish which are firm, not flabby, full-flavoured not oily, sweet not sour, and with the natural sea-fresh flavour of wild Atlantic salmon as they once were—that clean taste that has been off the menu for years.
