First Water

We are Setting New Standards in Sustainable Salmon At Severn & Wye, our passion for exceptional fish goes hand in hand with our responsibility to the environment. Today, we are proud to introduce a new choice for our trade partners and customers of Severn & Wye, Land-based, Icelandic Salmon - Silverscale. Why this matters? Wild Atlantic salmon is one of nature’s most remarkable species, yet its survival is under increasing pressure. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we believe innovation is essential. Land-based aquaculture offers a progressive solution that protects wild stocks whilst delivering salmon of outstanding quality. Silverscale operates a fully controlled, land-based aquaculture system powered entirely by renewable energy, which ensures: - No impact on marine ecosystems – safeguarding wild salmon populations. - Closed-loop waste management – converting by-products into compost and biogas. - Low mortality rates (<2%) and optimum conditions for fish health. Why choose land-based salmon? - Reduced environmental footprint - No escapes or threats to wild fish - Ethical farming with exceptional welfare standards Our traditional farmed salmon continues to play an important role in our range and reflects our commitment to responsible sourcing. Introducing land-based salmon is about expanding choice, offering an innovative option that complements our sustainability goals and supports the future of ethical aquaculture.
