What is my fish's story?
I purchased salmon that seems to have an interesting history:
[Norwegian flag] NORWEGIAN* SMOKED SALMON
FARM RAISED AND COLOR ADDED
harvested in the icy Norwegian waters of the Northern Atlantic and delicately smoked with a mild, low salt cure
*PRODUCT OF GREECE
I'd be interested in knowing my salmon's provenance. How did it get that label?
Best Answer
All Atlantic Salmon* is farmed, so for it to be "Norwegian" it had to come from a farm off the coast of Norway (which is the world's third largest source) then shipped to Greece for further processing. The colour is added in their feed because they're pale compared to wild salmon otherwise; so Greece was potentially where it was filleted & cured. The trip to Greece would have probably been by ship, whole, frozen. Possibly on ice, by truck, but Greece is a long way from Norway by road.
It could even have been processed before shipping or en route, so Greece was left to do just the final packaging.

*Atlantic Salmon is the species, there's only one in the Atlantic, whether it's called Canadian, Scottish or Norwegian.
