Bay of Fundy Salmon Fillets
Inner Bay of Fundy Salmon are a very unique population of Atlantic Salmon. Although they may look a lot like other Atlantic Salmon, genetic studies show that they are quite different. Like most Atlantic salmon, these salmon begin their lives in freshwater rivers before heading out for feeding grounds in the ocean. However, once the Fundy salmon leave these rivers in Canada, they do not participate in a long distance migration to the waters around Greenland. Instead, they spend a year or so feeding within the Bay of Fundy before returning to their home rivers to spawn. This unique behavior along with traits like earlier maturity and high survival rates between spawning periods, make the Bay of Fundy Salmon distinct from other Atlantic Salmon populations.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet
