LiveOcean canned salmon is farmed in the southern coastal fjords of Chile. We use sustainable fish farming practices. By raising the salmon in open fjords, we are able to give the salmon more room to move around and a cleaner environment. Because of the six meter tidal movements within the fjords and the Humbolt currents from Antartica, Chilean raised salmon grow in the purest waters on earth. The salmon are fed a diet of fish components and oils in the form of pellets, from which they obtain their Omega-3s.

Keep the frozen Atlantic salmon meals in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
