• We have a minimum of 51% marine ingredients in the diet for our salmon.
• We sell to the niche market, mainly foodservice, mainly at 25% more than other Scottish farmed salmon.

“I like to use quality Scottish salmon fed on as natural a diet as possible. I get this from Loch Duart.” Gordon Ramsay
“I avoid [farmed] salmon on most menus, because there is so much depressingly bad fish around. This [Loch Duart salmon] was as good as I remember from childhood, when it was still a treat…”
