It is easy to assume that all Farm Raised Atlantic Salmon are of the same quality and
flavor. Atlantic salmon is produced world wide and the genus and species (salmon salar) is
identical throughout the producing countries. However, this is as far as
the similarity goes. Foley's has "gone to school" on Atlantic salmon to locate and bring
you the very highest quality, firmest textured, freshest and most flavorful Atlantic salmon
produced anywhere.
Four major factors differentiate one Farm Raised Atlantic Salmon from another:
- Gene pools
- Farming practices (husbandry)
- Harvesting and slaughtering techniques
- Packing and travel time of the finished product
Attention to detail at each step along the way, from the hatchery to the final shipping
of the product, determines the overall quality and flavor of the salmon that you serve to your
customers. The fish we ship each day was swimming the day before!
In addition, Foley salmon farms test their salmon regularly at the parts per trillion level for
PCB's to ensure the healthfulness of each fish. Finally, Foley salmon farms have strict criteria for
their feed and do not include any bovine byproducts.
