SNOW WHITE NORWEGIAN HALIBUT
Glitne is the producer of what might be the world’s finest and most sustainable Halibut, a Snow White Atlantic Halibut no less. Raised on the shores of the pristine Sognefjord in Norway using innovative land based raceways with flowing pure, ice-cold, crystal clear water pumped from over 300 feet deep within the Sognefjord.
Harmony with Nature
Founded by a 3rd generation farmer of the Sognefjord, the largest, deepest fjord in Norway, Glitne Halibut are raised for 4-5 years in a farm built of all natural materials. Clean, mineral-rich water is pumped from a depth of 300 feet, creating an ideal “fjord on land” environment for halibut to thrive with year round availability.
Glitne Halibut’s innovative recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), which was recognized as a Monterey Bay Aquarium Green Best Choice, provides their fish high aeration and oxygenation of pristine ice cold water, pumped straight from the crystal-clear fjords some 100 meters down.
In the land-based race-ways, where the fish are raised, they can control every aspect of growing conditions, from temperature to what the fish are fed (alternative plant-based feeds) to how waste is disposed of—after removing pollutants, water is funneled back into the fjord.

Mitigating Pressure Wild Fish Stocks
In 2010, Greenpeace International added the Atlantic halibut to its seafood red list of "fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries."
Raising these fish from eggs, Glitne is demonstrating a path forward that mitigates pressure on the wild population of Atlantic Halibut. Glitne's farm raised Atlantic Halibut are a shining example of smart aquaculture and the hope for the future of seafood.
