I sat down with Connie to dive deep into what sets their salmon apart. We explore the meticulous, labor-intensive processes they’ve preserved for decades—from hand-feeding to maintaining the health of the local ecosystem. In this video, we discuss: * The Geography: How the rugged Scottish coastline and cold, deep waters define the quality of the fish. * The Process: Connie explains the "slow-grown" philosophy and why ethical husbandry is non-negotiable. * The Flavour: Why this specific salmon is a favorite for open-fire cooking and "field-to-fork" enthusiasts. There is a profound connection between the environment and the food we eat. Seeing the scale of the mountains and the clarity of the water firsthand makes it clear: you can’t rush quality.
