About the Norwegian Seafood Council + Seafood from Norway
Origin matters and Norway sets the global standard for seafood as a result of its meticulous aquaculture and sustainability efforts. The unique geography and cold, clear waters of Norway set the country apart when it comes to providing the highest quality, most flavorful seafood and their variety of offerings—including salmon, trout, cod and halibut—provide a delicious way to add nutrition, variety and flavor to your menu so you can feel good about what you are serving. Norway is the second largest exporter of seafood in the world, sharing sustainable wild-caught and ocean-farmed seafood with more than 150 countries, with the U.S. being the second largest export for Norway. Norway supplies half of the world’s ocean-farmed salmon and 2020 marked its 50th anniversary of sustainable salmon farming.
