Precision, purity, and respect for the natural lifecycle of fish

Born in the crystal-clear freshwater springs of southern Chile, these trout begin life in carefully managed hatcheries where water quality and fish welfare are paramount. After about a year, following the rhythm of nature, the young smolt are transferred to the cold, oxygen-rich ocean waters of the Chilean coastline—an environment chosen for its exceptional cleanliness and biodiversity. Here, they thrive in open-water pens with strong currents, mimicking the conditions of wild migration. The result is a firm, vibrant fillet with clean flavor, high in omega-3s and low in contaminants, favored by chefs for its consistency and integrity. Caleta Bay’s approach blends science and stewardship, offering a model for ocean-friendly aquaculture rooted in the life cycle of the fish itself.

Where glacier meltwater meets the Pacific

In the remote southern fjords of Chile, Caleta Bay operates within one of the world’s most pristine aquaculture environments—where glacial meltwater meets the Pacific. These cold, clear waters are fed by the snowcapped Andes and enriched by tidal exchanges that flush the fjords with oxygen and nutrients. Surrounded by untouched forest and rugged coastline, the region is a haven for marine life, offering ideal conditions for raising Steelhead Trout. Here, strong ocean currents mimic the natural challenges of the wild, encouraging healthy growth and firm texture. Caleta Bay’s ocean sites are carefully selected not just for performance, but for ecological harmony—where water quality, biodiversity, and fish welfare are maintained in balance. This is aquaculture that respects place, elevating sustainability through precision and natural alignment.
