About Bakka Salmon
Bakka Salmon is the brand Bakkafrost uses in its business-to-business segment, printed on the polystyrene boxes of whole fresh fish pictured in its annual report rather than on anything a shopper picks off a shelf. It is the only sub-brand the group uses on both sides of its business: the same mark appears as Bakka Salmon from the Faroe Islands and as Bakka Salmon from Scotland, distinguished only by the provenance line beneath it.
