Wild Isles Salmon Fillet

Wild Isles Salmon Fillet

Wild Isles salmon is widely considered “the” salmon that every other farmed salmon is measured against. Sustainably raised in the wild open ocean waters off the Shetland Island’s rugged coastline. It’s this unique environment which give this fish its firm texture, lean flesh, and buttery sweet flavor that chef’s around the world have come to demand. Friends of the Sea & RSPCA Freedom Food, & Global G.A.P (Good Aquaculture Practices) approved sustainable farming, and extremely low stocking densities make Wild Isles salmon farms one of the best in the world.

 Every stage of the salmon’s life cycle is carefully monitored and evaluated to ensure environmental stewardship and quality of life, to produce the highest quality and best tasting salmon in the world.
