What to look for when sourcing farmed atlantic salmon

Product specification

Whole fresh salmon and salmon for further processing need different buying briefs. Start with the intended use: retail whole fish, portioning, or further processing.

Form & size

Specify whole fish, fresh or chilled, with a weight range or average weight. Confirm whether you require gutted or ungutted fish.

Quality attributes

Agree on expected fat content, fillet color, and any limits on external damage or deformities. These affect processing yield and end-use appeal.

Packaging & temperature

Confirm packaging type, ice or modified atmosphere, and required temperature range throughout transit. Define acceptable temperature variation for your logistics chain.

Quality acceptance

Visual checks alone are not enough to compare salmon. Agree how the sample will be assessed and how it relates to the shipment you receive.

Freshness assessment
Set criteria for smell, texture, and gill and eye appearance. These are key indicators of freshness in whole fish.
Physical checks
Record weight, fat content, and any size or condition limits. Assess the condition of the skin, fins, and belly wall.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain an approved sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Go beyond the country name. A specific farm, a regional producer, and a flexible trading source offer different levels of traceability and product consistency.

Traceability

Request the farm or production site, harvest date, and lot identity. This supports quality management and any destination-specific traceability requirements.

Production system

Ask about the rearing system, feed type, and any health treatments used. These factors can affect product quality and buyer acceptance.

Acceptable alternatives

Define which origins or production systems you can substitute without changing the intended use. This is important for consistent supply planning.

Commercial terms

Fresh salmon is often quoted per kilogram on a specific weight and packaging basis. Compare the final cost on the same delivery and payment terms.

Price basis: Confirm whether the price is per kilogram, whole fish or gutted, and whether it includes packaging and ice. Align the weight definition and currency.
Delivery basis: Confirm ex-farm, FOB, CIF, or delivered duty paid. Align transport, insurance, and any cold-chain charges.
Order terms: Match order quantity, delivery schedule, and payment terms. Fresh salmon has a short shelf life, so clarify shipment timing and lead times.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the specific fish you are buying, not just the supplier’s business.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, and transport documents. Include any health certificates or export documentation.
Traceability records: For farmed salmon, ask for farm-to-gate traceability information, including feed and treatment records if required. Confirm any chain-of-custody evidence for certifications.
Destination rules: Check import requirements for your destination, including any veterinary or product safety documentation. Confirm what evidence the buyer must provide.

Supplier capability

A producer, processor, and exporter may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your salmon.

Processing
Identify who handles slaughter, gutting, grading, and packaging. Ask who resolves a quality failure on arrival.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains product consistency across harvests and seasons. Inquire about their ability to supply throughout the year.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order size, sample provision, and cold-chain management. For smaller volumes, ask about pooling with other buyers or using a local distributor.
