Where do we source our salmon?

We source our fresh salmon with enormous care from one company. Quality, sustainability and welfare go hand in hand.
Bakkafrost Scotland is the leading producer of the finest quality Scottish salmon, raised exclusively on the West Coast of Scotland and the Hebridean Islands. They are the most vertically integrated salmon farming company in the world, which gives full control and responsibility over all aspects of production. With no use of antibiotics, or artificial additives (non-GMO), Bakkafrost salmon is as healthy as salmon can be.

The proof is in the eating.

The delicious taste of our multi-award-winning smoked salmon depends upon both skilled curing and smoking, and the excellent quality of the fresh fish. You can never improve poor produce by smoking it! The firm flesh and non-oily texture of our smoked salmon is testament to the strong currents that the salmon has been reared in. The perky coral colour of the fish is the result of natural marine pigments in their Havsbrún feed (read more below). We do not add any dyes, preservatives, additives or sugar.
