Phyllis The - Founder and CEO, art of salmo
Phyllis Teh is the founder and CEO of art of salmo. She strongly believes in quality should not comes
at the expense of convenience, nor the other way around - especially when it comes to the freshness
of fjord trout. She established Art of Salmo with her business partner, Dan in 2019. Art of Salmo is
Malaysia's first online store specialising in Norwegian Fjord Trout delivery, providing ready to eat
solutions to their customers. Phyllis' expertise in social media marketing has helped their brand garner
13K followers on Instagram in the span of less than a year. Today, she is continuously developing new
food solutions in line with new consumer trends.
Norwegian salmon and fjord trout have always been a nutritious, versatile and safe fish to
cook and eat at home or in the restaurants. They are easily available in the markets,
supermarkets and at the grocers even during this pandemic. Consumer trends may have
evolved during this time, but the Norwegian seafood industry has its finger on the pulse on
what consumers want.
The Norwegian Seafood Council takes pride in the fact that Norwegian salmon has captured
the top spot in global sustainable food ranking for two years running. Three Norwegian
seafood companies are ranked among the top 10 of the list of the world’s most sustainable
protein producers in the Coller FAIRR Protein Index.
The Index looks at how the world’s 60 largest publicly listed companies producing meat, dairy
and seafood perform on various risk factors relating to sustainability. The risk factors include
greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, use of antibiotics and labour conditions.
No other animal farming uses less antibiotics than Norwegian aquaculture. In 2019,
Norwegian salmon farms have near eliminated the use of antibiotics. “Eating more seafood is
a good way to reduce our climate emissions, and Norwegian salmon companies are leading
the way in sustainable protein production,” says Renate Larsen, CEO of the Norwegian
Seafood Council (NSC).
Keeping safe and eating safe and healthy is the way to go during this pandemic and beyond.
The Norwegian Seafood Council, led by NSC Regional Director Asbjorn Warvik Rortveit, shows
how in the NSC Virtual Luncheon of Norwegian Salmon and Fjord Trout with the Media on 25
November 2020.
Norwegian Ambassador to Malaysia, Her Excellency Gunn Jorid Roset spoke at the virtual
lunch while Asbjorn Warvik Rortveit shared an overview of Norwegian seafood performance
and Seafood Consumer Insights with the media.
Phyllis Teh, co-founder of online store Art of Salmó, that specialises in delivering the finest and
freshest Norwegian fjord trout with its special seasoning sachet to your doorstep spoke on
“Adapting to Consumer Needs in Covid-19 Times”.
Chefs Jordash DeCruz and Steve Chua presented “When East Meets West, Norwegian
Seafood Tasting Menu” for lunch. Chef Jordash is sous chef at Curious Kitchen in Kuala
Lumpur and has had experience working on the Norwegian Cruise Line and Viking Ocean
Cruise. Chef Steve is the founder of Two Chefs Lab, a Japanese restaurant, and has
represented Malaysia as a Norwegian Seafood Council’s sponsored participant at the World

There has been an increase in seafood consumption, driven by a shift towards a more
sustainable diet. This is according to a recent study of more than 25,000 consumers across
20 markets performed by Kantar on behalf of the Norwegian Seafood Council. The study is the
largest seafood consumer study of its kind and offers invaluable insight into seafood
consumer behaviours and preferences over time.
Many markets in this region are reporting increased demand for processed and pre-packed
seafoods, as well as products with longer sell-by dates. The Norwegian seafood industry is
adapting to these shifts in buyer preference and is turning its production to meet these needs.
It continues its efforts to provide safe, sustainable, and nutritious seafood during this time.

Trademark
Seafood will always be an essential part of our diet. However, consumers today are
increasingly focused on the origin of food, how it is produced and how it meets concerns
regarding sustainability. Norway was built on its seafood industry, and managing its ocean
resources in a sustainable manner.
The new trademark “Seafood from Norway” is addressing these matters, founded on a
genuine concern for environment. This trademark is a symbol of origin and quality for all
Norwegian seafood, farmed or wild caught in Norway’s cold, clear waters. Because there is no
doubt about it: Origin matters.
