AysénCoho is immune to sea lice and ISA virus, due to the strength and tightness of its scales, so chemical treatments are not required.
AysénCoho is a robust fish grown in its natural habitat (Pacific Ocean), permitting us to have a farming process that most of the time doesn’t require antibiotic treatments.
AysénCoho is an excellent source of Omega-3.
One serving of 5 oz of AysénCoho provides 3.24 grams of omega-3 fatty acids and 1.4 grams of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
Supportive research shows that EPA-DHA may contribute to the maintenance of normal vision and brain-function and may prevent coronary heart disease.
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends an individual eat at least 8 ounces of non-fried fish each week, which may be divided over two 3.5- to 4-ounce servings to get essential omega-3 fatty acids.
AysénCoho is similar to wild sockeye with an intense and unique red color. This is due to the absorption of color that Coho naturally has, which is higher than Atlantic salmon and other salmon species.
AysénCoho has a milder flavor and is less fishy compared to other salmon species.
AysénCoho is processed within eight hours of harvest providing for the highest standard in biosecurity, from our farms to the final consumer.
Fresh salmon from overseas is sometimes reprocessed more than 48 hours after leaving the plant, arrives more than 72 hours after leaving the plant to the supermarket, increasing exposure to biological risks and deteriorating its quality.
AysénCoho is grown in half the time compared with other salmon species, resulting in much less environmental impact.
Moreover, it is transported by sea, with a carbon footprint 20 times lower than the one of fresh salmon transported by plane.
AysénCoho has a feed conversion rate of 1.08, this means that, for producing 1kg of Coho, only 1.08 kg of feed is needed. This is why it is the most efficient protein in the world.
Our commitment with the environment and our communities, together with the highest-standard farming protocols, are validated throughout different certifications
Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)
Our Coho from Chile is ASC certified. The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program recommends consumers buy ASC certified Coho.
Best Aquaculture Practices(BAP)
EWOS Best Site Award (Cargill): Feeding companies have awarded AysénCoho during the last 8 years for its outstanding performance in feed conversion rates.
AysénCoho Kosher certification by UK Kosher.
Sashimi Quality: The ability to eat it raw.
It comes from the “sashimi grade” Japanese concept, based on the level of safety of the harvesting and processing of the fish.
Our Coho is filleted in an isolated room, that maintains a certain temperature and is frozen within 8 hours from harvest, ensuring the safety of the process.
