Mussels are low in fat and high in nutrients like omega-3 and iron. The rugged coastline of Shetland provides the perfect environment to grow some of the UK’s best mussels. Our large mussels are free from grit, with clean shells and 25% meat content. With sixty shells to the kilogram, it is easy to see why discerning customers choose Shetland mussels.

What makes Shetland salmon so good?

Our farmers have learned the secrets of breeding healthy, happy fish. Control methods, such as area management schemes (the coordination of site restocking and fallowing), ensure the prevention of disease which is so harmful to fish stocks. Such valuable experience has been acquired and many lessons have been learned since local salmon farming began in the 1980’s.

If you have any questions relating to the farming, harvesting or processing of the salmon, please get in touch with a member of the Shetland Finest team.
