Growing our special salmon with the lowest impact on the environment
Like inheriting the salmon house at Badcall which was built in the 1890’s, Loch Duart philosophy is to grow the best tasting salmon with the lowest impact to the surrounding environment.
Located in Sutherland, a part of UNESCO endorsed Northwest Geopark, our salmon grow up to three months longer than average with a natural as possible diet and space to swin.
Each fish grows fitter ad healthier everyday.
Our salmon enjoy lower than average stocking density, and hormones and antibiotics are never used. We also do not use anti-foulants in our farms. We pioneer natural solutions for fish welfare and environmental management.
Industry leaders in Omega 3 (DHA EPA)
▼Comparison of Omega 3
We feed our salmon with feed totally unique to Loch Duart. High in marine content, we believe this feed replicates the salmon’s natural diet.
When compared to other Scottish farmed salmon, Loch Duart can have up to double the amount of omega 3 levels.
