Irish Organic Salmon

Raised in the Atlantic Ocean

Ireland’s Western coastline of dramatic peninsulas and deep bays has been shaped by the power of the Atlantic Ocean. These wild waters give Ireland access to some of Europe’s richest fishing grounds. Irelands Atlantic Coast provides the perfect conditions for the production of top quality organic salmon and Ireland is a proud world leader in organic salmon production.

Irish Salmon farmers benefit from Gulf Stream currents along with cold freshwater from Ireland’s vast network of rivers and streams which provide nutrient rich, cool, clear waters. Fresh waters and strong currents encourage sturdy growth and Irish organic salmon swim the equivalent of 13,000km over a period of approximately 18 months while growing to maturity.
