Bakkafrost Scotland,

Bakkafrost Scotland, formerly known as The Scottish Salmon Company, is a leading producer of high-quality Scottish salmon, operating an extensive network of sites across Scotland’s West Coast and Hebridean Islands. Acquired by Faroese salmon producer P/F Bakkafrost in 2019 and rebranded in June 2022, the company now benefits from a vertically integrated structure that provides comprehensive control over its entire production process, from smolt rearing in freshwater facilities to marine farming, harvesting, and processing.

Bakkafrost Scotland is deeply committed to sustainable aquaculture, with an ambitious multi-million-pound investment plan focused on enhancing fish welfare, environmental performance, and increasing production volumes. This includes significant investment in advanced Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) at their freshwater hatcheries, designed to produce larger, more robust smolts. These technological advancements underscore their dedication to responsible farming practices and their goal of becoming Scotland’s most sustainable salmon producer.

Beyond its core business, Bakkafrost Scotland plays a crucial role in supporting rural economies, providing employment for hundreds of people in remote communities across the Highlands and Islands. By combining global expertise with a strong commitment to Scottish provenance, Bakkafrost Scotland not only ensures the supply of premium quality salmon to markets worldwide but also contributes significantly to the economic and social well-being of the regions where it operates.
