Faroese salmon company Bakkafrost is ready to make a bigger mark on the US salmon market.

Bakkafrost Head of US Operations Hanus Jacobsen told IntraFish the salmon company had started processing salmon in its new facility at the start of this year.

"We have spent two to three years observing the US market and finding out how we should operate here," he said. "Now we're ready to make a dent in it."
