FIRST US HARVEST FOR ATLANTIC SAPPHIRE

First US harvest for Atlantic Sapphire. On Monday, September 28^th Atlantic Sapphire celebrated a ground breaking moment in the company’s history, realising a 10-year old vision with the first harvest of USA-raised Bluehouse Salmon, at scale. Their innovative production technology has resulted in sustainably raised, premium salmon, fresh from Florida. This development marks a historical moment for the U.S. seafood industry.

In the weeks following the first harvest, Atlantic Sapphire will increase weekly volumes. The company will be expanding its footprint in locations of Giant Eagle, H-E-B, New Seasons Market, Publix, Safeway, Sobey’s, Sprouts Farmers Market and Wegmans.

Johan Andreassen, Atlantic Sapphire’s CEO, commented:

“We knew we had the potential to have an enormous impact on the salmon industry, and with much of the seafood imported into the United States, we wanted to continue to make a positive contribution by seeking out a location that would reduce the carbon footprint of salmon available in the North American market. Today we’re proud to finally start serving Americans delicious Bluehouse Salmon with a quality and freshness they have not experienced before.”

The company is poised for exponential growth with a growing network of nationwide distribution. For more information or to find a retailer, visit BLUEHOUSESALMON.COM

The Chef’s Warehouse, a purveyor of high-quality artisan ingredients for chefs, will be among the first partners to receive the premium Bluehouse Salmon product.

The Chef’s Warehouse said: “We are thrilled for this historic moment in our industry and eagerly await for the first shipment to arrive at our warehouses. The sustainability model, coupled with domestic production, makes this a no brainer for our chef customers. Within 48 hours from harvest, we will provide the foodservice community the freshest and incredibly clean tasting salmon that compares to no other.”

Another industry partner, Adam Caslow, co-chief executive officer of Acme Smoked Fish said

“We are amazed and excited for this landmark achievement by Atlantic Sapphire. Land-based aquaculture salmon from the USA is a seismic shift within the seafood industry. The path to sustainable growth is clear as we work together to provide the marketplace with high-quality protein that greatly reduce their environmental impact. Acme is proud to contribute our expertise for the benefit of generations to come.”
