Which is more expensive, Norwegian salmon or Chilean salmon?

Generally speaking, the price of Norwegian salmon is usually slightly higher than that of Chilean salmon. This is mainly because Norwegian salmon has advantages in quality and status, while Chilean salmon is usually more affordable.

Norwegian salmon is considered to be the originator of salmon, with high status and quality. Because Norwegian salmon has a long history, mature technology and excellent quality, its price is usually slightly higher than that of Chilean salmon. However, although the quality of salmon in some areas (such as Faroe Islands and New Zealand) is very good, the price may be equivalent to or even higher than that of Norwegian salmon due to factors such as marketing and market operation.

The price of Chilean salmon is usually 3-4 yuan RMB (4-5 NOK /0.38-0.47 Euro) cheaper than Norwegian salmon, and the gap has been widening in recent years. For example, last year, the average price difference between Chilean salmon and Norwegian salmon was 3-4 yuan RMB (4-5 NOK /0.38-0.47 Euro), but this year, the price difference has widened to 6.88 RMB (9 NOK) cheaper than Chilean salmon.

To sum up, although Norwegian salmon has advantages in quality and status, Chilean salmon is usually more affordable in price.
