Farming for the Future
We are a family farm who have pioneered the best in aquaculture techniques for decades, investing in academic research and innovation, developing our passionate team, and adhering to our values of quality, sustainability and community above all else. Providing a valuable food source to a growing population whilst protecting our marine environment is critical to our ethos.
It’s farming for the future.

Our Locations
The mineral-rich currents of the inner Hebrides are a superb habitat for our fish; they become athletic & muscular yet are protected from the harsh Atlantic swell by the outlying islands.
We regularly fallow our sites to keep the water quality outstanding, & sample the water during every cycle to ensure we adhere to SEPA & Marine Scotland regulations.
Our integrated hatchery, fed by a natural spring, ensures we can fully control our fish welfare from egg to harvest.
Quality, Control, Welfare.
As of 2022, all our fish are from our own brood stock, bred to thrive in our local environment. This programme, which has been years in the making, has given us control and security for the future, as well as offering improved welfare and hugely increased survival for our fish.
We partner with genetics company Xelect to develop and adapt our genetics with the latest research.
Investment
We are investing in our production, our technology and our people more than ever before. Our collaborations with academia, our genetics programme and our feed sustainability initiative will safeguard our farm and our team into the future.
It’s this forward-thinking perspective that won us Best Aquaculture Company in the UK at the 2022 industry awards.
Sustainability
Sustainable & regenerative aquaculture is essential for feeding a growing population in an increasingly difficult climate. Farming in the sea comes with huge responsibility, and we’re proud of the way we have looked after our waters and protected them over the past five decades.
