All quality grades of Scottish salmon are available at Scottish Import: Superior, Label Rouge, Global G.A.P., Bio/Naturland und ASC certified. By extending our product spectrum with regard to salmon and cooperating with carefully selected filleting partners, we are able to fulfill our customers’ individual requirements. We can produce daily on demand, whether it is the standard salmon fillets Trims A to E+, salmon portions or even loins. Filleting of the salmon takes place either directly in the country of origin or immediately upon arrival in Germany, which enables fast and flexible production on a daily basis.

A specialty we have on offer are our pre-rigor salmon fillets from Scotland and Norway: unsurpassed freshness, with filleting taking place shortly after harvesting, before rigor mortis sets in. This guarantees an excellent colouring and firm consistency, resulting in a truly premium quality!

The result is a traditional style Scottish smoked salmon, delicately cured with a firm texture. Loch Fyne offers a variety of Scottish smoked salmon products, ranging from the traditional classic flavour to citrus and whisky marinated sides and packs. All recipes are well preserved secrets, but suffice to say, the whisky used is for the whisky marinated sides is a Glengoyne 21 year old Single Malt!
