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.
