( votes)Purchase Arctic Char
Arctic char is found in the Arctic Ocean, particularly in the Canadian Arctic, and is the traditional food of the Inuit people. It is believed that the Inuit in this region have fished the frigid waters for wild arctic char to sustain their communities for two thousand years. Arctic char has a rich taste with a flavour between trout and salmon, with a fat content close to that of sockeye salmon. Be sure to give this tasty fish a try when you visit Nain!
