Our Icelandic Arctic Char is sourced directly from Samhrji, who utilizes a responsible land-based aquaculture facility that is 100% traceable and sustainable with green renewable energy.

What’s the Serving Size of Icelandic Arctic Char Fillets?

Each order of Icelandic Arctic Char comes flash-frozen in a 16-18 oz. package. We recommend serving 8 oz. of fish per person, so your fillet will be enough to feed 2 people as their main course.

The Health Benefits of Arctic Char

Seafood is widely regarded by medical experts and dieticians to be healthy, providing nutritional benefits not found in other meat sources. Icelandic Arctic Char has just 160 calories and 11 grams of fat per 3 oz. serving, while providing 16 grams of protein. Arctic Char is also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Arctic Char

Storage: Keep frozen ≤ 0℉ (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain their quality for at least 6 to 12 months. Lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish). It is important to note seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing instructions: Thaw under refrigeration ≤ 38℉ (3℃). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging. For quick-thawing, place frozen fish in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture the package). Regardless of the chosen thawing technique, once the product is thawed, it should be cooked within 24 hours and stored at a temperature no higher than 38℉ (3℃).
