Clare Island Organic Salmon

Clare Island Organic Salmon thrive in the wild pristine waters along Ireland’s west coast, where they were the first to achieve organic certification back in 1995. They have been rearing salmon for over 30 years in some of Ireland’s most remote locations while making a direct impact on the local communities by investing in the people, and the processes to ensure a sustainable business.

Clare Island Salmon offer complete traceability at each stage of the salmon’s life cycle. Feed quality and safety is monitored and managed in conjunction with the suppliers. During production stages, the quality of production and process water is carefully and regularly monitored. They have detailed systems for the monitoring and control of pathogens in addition to the monitoring and reporting of adventitious contaminants in fish.

 

Lake Erie Walleye Jumbo/ Medium

Product of: Canada

Walleye is widely regarded as the best-tasting fresh water fish and prized for its thickness and succulent, sweet flavor. Walleye is native to lakes and streams throughout Canada and north-central US, however Canada is the only commercial source. The fish derives its name from its glassy, opaque eyes which allow the fish to hunt at night on the lake bottom. The meat of the fish is white with a small flake and clean, sweet flavor. Walleye is impressively versatile and lends itself well to just about any cooking method- baking, grilling, poaching, stuffing, sauteing, or frying.
