Provenance & Sustainability

	The Provenance and Sustainability of Our Salmon At Ardtaraig, we recognise that customers are increasingly demanding transparency from their suppliers. It is now more important than ever to clearly demonstrate strong provenance and to ensure that all products come from responsibly managed, sustainable sources. This is especially relevant within the Scottish salmon industry, which has faced significant scrutiny in recent years.

Provenance and Sourcing We take great care in tracing the origin of every salmon we use. Each fish is locally sourced from sustainable farms located on the remote North West coast of Scotland. These waters are fast-flowing, cold, and naturally well-suited to high-quality salmon farming. The rugged and isolated environment further supports responsible and low-impact aquaculture practices.

	Farming Practices and Welfare All of the salmon we use salmon are hand-reared, allowing for close monitoring and careful attention to animal welfare throughout their development. Low stocking densities ensure the fish have ample space to move freely and grow in a healthy environment. This approach helps to maintain both fish welfare and product quality. The salmon are fed a nutritious diet rich in omega-3, derived from fish trimmings.

Our Commitment to Quality We are fully committed to maintaining the highest standards in the welfare and rearing of the salmon we use. This commitment ensures that we can provide our customers with premium-quality smoked Scottish salmon, produced responsibly and sustainably.
