Scottish farmed salmon has no place on a sustainable menu, be it in a restaurant, deli, fishmongers, or at home.

It’s time to take farmed salmon off the menu.

See our top reasons to avoid farmed salmon:

Campaign recommendations

Say no to eating, selling or serving open-net farmed salmon.

Try alternatives – some ideas from our Off the table chefs include: 

  • Eating seasonally and sustainably – try alternatives such as fish and shellfish that are lower down the food chain. 
  • Eating plant-based alternatives.  
  • Other types of aquaculture – for example:
    • Farmed bivalves (such as mussels and oysters).
    • Community-led and regenerative aquaculture (check out Car-y-Mor in south Wales as an example).
    • Fish reared in ‘closed containment’ systems – NB: this could be an alternative to reduce some of the risks to wild fish from aquaculture, but there are issues with industry scale, technology, welfare and carbon footprint/resources use (energy, water, wild-caught fish for feed) that need to be addressed.

We know our customers want their food to be delicious – but more and more, they want to know it’s sustainable. That’s why we don’t serve farmed salmon at Wilsons.

Eating Atlantic salmon from open net salmon farms is the wrong choice for our health and the health of our environment. Responsible consumers should avoid these inhumanely, unsustainably raised fish.

I actively boycott farmed salmon, both at home and in restaurants. This factory farming of the sea, with its effluents, diseases, pesticides, parasites, is the greatest environmental catastrophe to hit the West coast of Scotland in my lifetime.
