Seafood thrives in Norway’s natural environment — no other place on Earth comes close to replicating its harsh yet ideal conditions. A vast coastline, cold air and deep coastal waters make for a way of life that Norway and its people have shared and relied on for centuries. Fish grow slowly in these ice-cold waters, yielding incredibly firm flesh, unsurpassed in taste, color and texture. Through innovation, grit and determination, coupled with centuries of know-how, the people of Norway sustainably produce and harvest this delicious cold-water bounty to share with the world. Seafood from Norway is easy to cook too, making it the perfect addition to a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
