Hiddenfjord is a privately owned salmon farming company with roots back to 1887. The owners, two Faroese brothers, are passionate about sustainability, animal welfare and perfecting how salmon is raised. The products are free from hormones and GMO, and since 3 years back, no salmon is transported by air, lowering the CO₂ footprint for overseas transportation by 94%.

Other company core values are integrity, innovation, and financial prudence.

Today, the company is selling globally, with focus on the American and European markets for the fresh products.

Hiddenfjord is the only 100% Faroese salmon farming company and produces high-quality salmon that is raised in the most exposed farming sites in the world.
