| Arctic Char Fishing Lodges
from My Fishing Lodge 
Arctic char, the most northern freshwater
fish, has been an important and healthy food resource
to Inuit for centuries. Char is eaten raw, frozen,
dried, smoked, aged or cooked. The meat, head and
eggs are excellent sources of protein and Vitamin
B. Dried char contains omega-3 fatty acids which helps
prevent heart disease. There are two subgroups of
arctic char: a sea-run group; and a freshwater or
land-locked group, both of which belong to the salmon
family.
Arctic Char are distributed throughout
the polar regions and is the most northerly distributed
of char and its closely related cousin, the Dolly
Varden. As the name suggest, Arctic Char is not common
to southern waters. They strive in rivers that have
very cold temperatures such as those in Labrador.
However some rivers on the island of Newfoundland
also have large stocks of Arctic Char.
