Verlasso has been a leader in sustainable practices for nearly a decade. We work closely with our local communities to reduce environmental impact with proven innovative sustainable farming techniques. Verlasso is on the cutting edge of harmonious aquaculture and is a truly trusted source for delicious quality salmon.

We go to great lengths to carefully choose each farm site, ensuring that our salmon is raised in only the cleanest waters.  

Remote Location

At 42° south, far from cities, villages and industrial pollutants, we found ideal growing conditions that yield the freshest and healthiest salmon.

The Humboldt Current

Cold, low salinity water flows up from deep ocean trenches, refreshing the farms all year long. Our fish thrive in waters uniquely primed with micro-nutrients and planktons.

Like any champion breeder, we study our progeny and select brood stock for all of the most desirable qualities: strength, appearance, fat levels, flavor, and disease resistance. We can trace the salmon on your plate back generations.  

Fish In: Fish Out

By including an algae rich in Omega-3’s in our salmon’s diet, along with an inclusion of fish trimmings sourced from non-salmon fish processing, Verlasso now has a “fish in, fish out” ratio of lower than 1:1.

Our Salmon’s diet is an environmentally sustainable proprietary blend containing no whole wild caught feeder fish. The Verlasso diet consists of non-salmon fish trimmings sourced from fish caught from certified sustainable fisheries, natural algae, vitamins and oils rich in Omega-3 to ensure the consistent flavor and color for which Verlasso is renowned.

Hormone & Antibiotic free

We never use hormones to grow our fish and always harvest at a smaller size to ensure the health of the population. No preventative antibiotics are ever used and our salmon has no antibiotics at harvest.

Our nets and enclosures contain no copper anti-foulants and we never use organophosphates on our farms, ensuring the least amount of disruption to the environment.

CLEAN • FRESH • FIRM

Verlasso salmon has a buttery mouth feel, firm texture and mild flavor that complements any method of cooking or preparation. Our salmon is lower in fat than conventional farmed salmon and offers a brighter taste with no residual fishy flavor on the palate or aroma in the kitchen. 

Clean, fresh and firm, Verlasso salmon makes every dish a masterpiece.

Does Verlasso salmon taste the same as wild caught salmon?

Verlasso salmon has a firm texture and a rich fat content that falls between traditionally farmed and wild caught salmon. It’s a lean, moist fish that is ideal for cooking and enjoying sashimi-style.

Are farmed fish as nutritious as wild fish? Do they have the same amount of omegas?

Yes. Farmed fish have the same Omega-3’s as wild when properly raised. We use a natural algae in the salmon’s diet to ensure they have proper nutrition. The result is a farmed fish with the same Omega-3’s and healthy fats as a wild caught fish.

Does Verlasso use any antibiotics or other chemicals?

No preventative antibiotics are ever used and our salmon are not treated with antibiotics at harvest.
