Mannin Bay organic salmon

Mannin Bay was the first salmon farm to commence organic sea farming in Connemara (West Coast of Ireland). The farm is on the exposed western seaboard of Ireland. It is an area devoid of any man made industry and therefore their waters remain pristine and clean. Mannin Bay is the first salmon farm outside France to achieve the Agriculture Biologique (AB) organic certification.

Kilkerrin Bay organic salmon

Meitheal Eisc Teo is a local company in the heart of the Irish speaking Gaelteacht of Connemara. The farm is located in Kilkerrin Bay. The whole bay is known as Kilkerrin Bay in honour of Saint Ciaráin who had a holy cell in the area hundreds of years ago. The salmon are grown in the cleanest seas in Europe, in blue fast flowing waters.

What makes a salmon organic?

  • A high tidal exchange rate (which is defined in the organic standards) characterise the area in which the farms are situated and ensure that sea water continually flushes through the cages and prevents the accumulation of parasites and pollutants.
  • The fish are fed daily with a diet made from sustainable organic fish meal – a by –product of the Irish fishing industry.
  • Animal welfare is at the core of the husbandry strategy and the fish experience life as close to the wild as possible.
  • The highest possible organic standards are maintained throughout the salmon’s growing cycle, from egg to harvest.
