Loch Duart is a very different Salmon Company.

The difference begins with our approach to rearing salmon and ends with a product which is consistently judged superior in taste, quality, colour and overall perception, as evidenced by the number of leading international chefs and restaurants which service Loch Duart farmed salmon by name.

'Best practice' is the principle applied to Loch Duart salmon at every stage of rearing, harvesting and supply - a sustainable and environmentally-responsible approach which defines a long term role for aquaculture as an essential and viable part of the food supply chain of the future.

Stocks of wild fish are dwindling through overfishing - and the global influence of aquaculture is such that in 1999, for the first time, salmon farming produced a greater tonnage than the world's wild atlantic salmon catch and has done so in every subsequent year.

Our ultimate objective is the delivery of an outstanding salmon to the consumer. Here, in the cold, clear waters of northern Scotland, we are using safe, sustainable techniques to produce lean, fit fish - salmon as salmon should be, as one recent 'blogger' told us, rather vividly -

"I have a new goal in life,
...and that's to make money. Well, I guess that was always a goal, but I have a new purpose for it. Previously it was just to gorge myself on all the Marc and Chanel and Louis that I could get my grubby little hands on. But now it's to eat out at five star restaurants as frequently as possible.

We were wined and dined the other evening by an investor at work. Dewd. It was nothing short of fabulous. Drinking and eating on corporate dime is OK. BY. ME. Half the things on the menu I didn't understand, and that was taking into consideration my French heritage and slight understanding of the language. Did you know that puree of cauliflower soup with an oyster flan is a heavenly confection and delight to the tastebuds? Did you know there was an oyster flan? I had the Loch Duart salmon fillet with the parsnip puree and orange carrot sauce. And it was de-f******-lightful. What is Loch Duart salmon? I don't know! But I want it AGAIN."

Others agree.......

"We've bought kippers, langoustines, smoked haddock and Loch Duart Salmon. The taste and quality of the salmon defies description - it is absolutely beautiful. I've eaten quite a lot of salmon over the years, but I can truthfully say that I have never tasted anything quite so special. Once this 'consignment' has been happily consumed, I shall certainly be ordering more."
