For professional athletes, eating well is just as important as training well. Oily fish like salmon, mackerel, and trout are excellent sources of lean protein and omega-3s, which help reduce inflammation that can hamper athletic performance and contribute to chronic conditions like heart disease. Salmon also boasts nutrients that are beneficial for our heart and brain health - not to mention, it's delicious too!

When it comes to providing tasty, nutritious meals in an environmentally friendly way, Scotland's salmon farmers are well placed to deliver this. Scotland's farmed salmon sector recently published a major roadmap setting out its long-term vision.

Scottish Salmon is the UK's favourite fish, outselling cod, tuna, haddock, mackerel and trout - with good reason too! Not only is it packed with flavour, it also packs a punch in terms of nutritional goodness. A new nutritional analysis carried out by the Nutrition Analytical Service at the University of Stirling in April 2021 has found that just a single portion of farmed Scottish Salmon is even healthier than previously thought, providing more than 70% of daily vitamin D needs.
