Stolt Sea Farm’s turbot was one of the standout elements on the menu served at the 2025 Nobel Prize Dinner, held on 10 December at Stockholm City Hall. The presence of this farmed fish at one of the world’s most prestigious gastronomic elements marks a new milestone both for the company and for the European aquaculture sector.

According to a statement published by Stolt Sea Farm on LinkedIn, the selection of its turbot for an event of “global significance” reinforces recognition of the high-quality standards applied at its farms and of its commitment to aquaculture based on excellence, traceability and product consistency.

The turbot was served as the main course of the banquet, in a fine-dining preparation combining the fish with scallop, seaweed and a beurre blanc sauce, in keeping with the Nobel menu’s tradition of showcasing premium ingredients and strong connection with the natural environment.

The company notes that being part of the Nobel Prize Dinner menu is not only a source of internal pride, but also a unique opportunity to raise the profile of modern aquaculture among scientific, political and cultural leaders from around the world. “Presenting an aquaculture product on this stage demonstrates the extent to which the sector can compete at the very highest gastronomic level,” the company states.

Stolt Sea Farm is one of the world’s leading producers of turbot, with facilities in several European countries, including Spain, and a long track record in the development of controlled and sustainable production system. The inclusion of its product at the Nobel Dinner is widely interpreted within the sector as an implicit endorsement of aquaculture as a reliable source of premium fish, capable to meeting the demands of top-tier international gastronomy.

For the aquaculture industry, this recognition of innovation, quality control and professionalisation confirms that farmed seafood products can secure a prominent place at the most exclusive events on the global stage.
