Championing the welfare of the

salmon above all else

Our salmon are entirely hand reared, which means that people — not just machines or cameras — are on the water every day to feed and observe the fish. Our salmon are certified Freedom Food, a rigorous animal welfare standard of the RSPCA. Additionally, the salmon are Kosher Certified, and our farms meets ISO14001 environmental management standards and holds the endorsement from the Scottish Industry Code of Good Practices. This level of care adds up to a great fish you can be proud to serve and proud to call by name. We’ve also made a traceable commitment to you. Every Wester Ross whole fish and fillets is tagged as coming from our farm and carries a unique, sequential number. Please have a look around our web site. There’s plenty more to see, and special resources for chefs and retailers. We want to hear from you.

Our approach has always been hands-on.

Our salmon are hand reared using traditional farming methods and a low level of mechanisation. This allows our farmers to spend time on the water every day, observing the fish and responding with the care and experience that good husbandry demands.

It takes patience, skill and dedication, but it’s this artisan approach that allows us to maintain the exceptional standards of welfare and quality that have defined Wester Ross Scottish salmon for generations.
