CAMPBELL RIVER, BC (November 14th, 2011) Raised in the pristine waters off the coast of Vancouver Island, B.C. by a dedicated and passionate team of craftsmen farmers, Skuna Bay, Vancouver Island Craft Raised Salmon launches today as North America’s first craft farmed salmon. “Skuna Bay is doing everything differently for one simple reason: so chefs and diners can experience our fresh-out-of-the-water salmon that our craftsmen farmers have spent years raising” said Managing Director Stewart Hawthorn. This unique offering will initially be available in the Southwest region of the USA including Greater Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
