Full product description

Our Skin-On Icelandic Arctic Char comes from the cold, clean waters of Iceland, where strict standards and slow growth produce fish with exceptional flavor and texture. Arctic char is often described as the perfect balance between salmon and trout—rich and buttery, yet clean and refined.

Leaving the skin on helps protect the flesh during handling and cooking, while also allowing for a beautifully crisp finish when pan-seared. The flesh remains tender and moist, with a subtle sweetness that pairs well with both simple and bold flavors.

This is a favorite among chefs for its versatility and consistency, delivering restaurant-quality results with minimal effort.
