WELCOME TO LOCH DUART

For over 20 years we have been gently nurturing our Scottish Salmon in the crystal clear waters of North Western Scotland.

UNRIVALLED TASTE

Fish welfare is at the heart of everything we do which means our farms are designed around the salmon. Our salmon is only farmed on our sites at a small scale that’s repeatable and consistent. We aim to rear the best quality salmon with the lowest possible impact on the environment.

GET TO KNOW US BETTER

Ikejime is a set of Japanese techniques used to harvest and ensure the maximum eating qualities of the fish are preserved. Ikejime Quality are an organisation who assess this process and award certification. Loch Duart is the only salmon farm in the world to become Ikejime Quality Certified.

HEART UK is Britain’s leading cholesterol charity and after a stringent approval process has awarded Loch Duart Salmon as a ‘HEART UK approved’ product recognising that Loch Duart salmon is high in omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart.

It’s always a thrill to bump into some curious dolphins out at sea! Loch Duart Skipper Andy Millar spotted the friendly pod swimming alongside, on the way to the Isle of Harris.

Did you know that one portion of Loch Duart salmon contains all of your weekly Omega-3 requirements?

At Loch Duart we believe the old saying “you are what you eat”, and this is no different for our fish.

We want our salmon to have a diet as close to that of wild salmon as possible. To do this, we’ve worked with our feed partners to design salmon feed that is unique to Loch Duart. High in marine content, the feed replicates the salmon’s diet as closely as possible and helps keep our fish fit and healthy.

Maintaining the high marine content diet not only keeps our salmon fit and healthy, but it also contributes to Loch Duart salmon achieving industry leading omega-3 levels. Up to double the omega-3 when compared with salmon bought from the top UK retailers.

We’ve partnered with @heartukcharity, the UK’s leading heart and cholesterol charity, to help promote the health benefits of eating salmon as part of a balance diet.

Small scale, low impact farming.

We are committed to raising the world’s best quality farmed salmon with the lowest possible impact to the environment.

At Loch Duart, our small-scale farming methods and low stock densities are less intensive. Coupled with our extended fallowing program, our team is given the time to work patiently with nature to raise our fish in as natural a way as possible, while protecting our environment.

Did you know that Loch Duart is the only @ikejime_quality certified farmed salmon in the world?

Ikejime is a humane set of Japanese techniques centered on preserving the natural quality of fish, through quick and instantaneous harvesting methods which minimize stress. Once fish are harvested, they are cooled immediately to ensure the taste and texture is preserved.

The authentic taste of Loch Duart salmon, along with its firmer and less fatty texture, make it the salmon of choice for top sushi chefs around the world.

Eating oily fish such as salmon is a great way of boosting your intake of omega-3 fats, which support a healthy heart. But did you know that Loch Duart salmon can have up to double the Omega-3 content of standard supermarket bought salmon?

Quite simply, we believe in feeding our salmon a diet as close to the natural diet of wild salmon. Our bespoke feed, together with our low-density rearing and our environmentally focused practices all contribute to our salmon’s unrivalled taste, texture, and industry leading omega-3 levels.

We’ve worked closely with our charity partners @heartukcharity to prepare some delicious new salmon recipes, perfect for trying out through January. Why not give them a try for yourself?

As a business, we seek to bring positive change and to give back to the communities that support us.

Over the last few years, we have been able to directly support many exceptional projects across Sutherland and the Outer Hebridean communities where we work, often helping to connect people to one another and to the waters which are so central to life in Northwest of Scotland.

Some of the ways we have been able to support our local communities include:
- Helping to fund a new accessible ‘Wheelyboat’ for the North Uist and South Uist Angling Clubs.
- Donating towards the construction of a new skiff for the Uist Coastal Rowing Club.
- Funding outdoor playground equipment for Scourie Primary School.
