Open and Transparent Insights

Salmon Scotland aims to enhance understanding of the Scottish salmon farming sector by providing clear insights into its operations.

The success of salmon farming has had a profound impact on the economy, particularly in sparsely populated regions along the west coast and islands. Over the past 50 years, the Scottish salmon farming sector has grown to account for approximately 40 percent of the total value of Scottish food exports.

Renowned for its exceptional nutritional value and high production standards, Scottish salmon has been honoured with the prestigious EU PGI status, a testament to its quality and distinctive origins. Additionally, it proudly holds the esteemed French Label Rouge designation, signifying its recognition as an outstanding example of 'good food' on the international stage.

Together, let's continue to nurture the growth of the Scottish salmon sector while preserving the beauty and health of our oceans for generations to come. Experience the true essence of Scotland through our finest catch - the unparalleled Scottish salmon.
