Wild Atlantic salmon: our reference
The reference point on the scale, not a product we offer.
This is our own rating scale, not customer reviews or an independent certification. Royal is Høvding’s selection within the Superior class, not a separate official quality grade.
Behind the scale.
Superior: the quality grade
Salmon with a strong overall appearance and no significant faults or damage. Superior is also the basis for Royal selection.
Royal: handpicked and tagged
Each fish is selected from Superior batches using Høvding’s own assessment of shape, proportions and overall appearance, then individually tagged with the Royal label.
Wild Atlantic salmon: our reference
Wild Atlantic salmon is our reference for appearance and character. It marks the top of our own scale, not a product we offer or a separate grade for our farmed salmon.
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Mild flavour, tender flesh and natural fat marbling. Atlantic salmon suits preparations including pan-frying, grilling and smoking.
Raw use, including sushi and sashimi, requires appropriate cold-chain handling, compliance with market requirements and dated documentation for exemption from freezing with each batch or consignment. Royal selection does not replace this.
Grading and order specification
Superior describes the grade. Royal adds individual selection and its own tag. The order specification describes what you actually order. The order specifies product form, size, quantity and other agreed requirements.
Certificates and market requirements
Specify the documents or certificates your market requires. Availability, validity and issuer must be confirmed for the specific order.
