Additional Info:

We have partnered with a leading Scottish salmon farmer to produce M&S Select Farm salmon, which is exclusive to M&S. M&S Select Farm Salmon is distinct from other farmed salmon by virtue of its specially formulated high quality diet, lower stocking densities and a range of other husbandry measures set out in our Select Farm Assurance (Atlantic Salmon) Standard. Our salmon is sourced from 8 farms in Argyll, 5 in Rosshire, 2 near Mallaig, 3 in Shetland and 5 in Orkney.
