Our whole salmon come from the exceptional team at Wester Ross, who have been farming salmon in the north-west Highlands of Scotland since 1977.

Renowned for their outstanding quality, Wester Ross salmon are slow-grown in the cool, clear waters of the Scottish Highlands, producing fish with beautiful texture, excellent flavour and superb eating qualities.

Ranging from approximately 4-6kg each, a whole salmon makes a spectacular centrepiece for a family gathering, celebration or buffet. Each fish is supplied gutted and gilled, ready for roasting or baking on the bone.

For larger events, a whole salmon can comfortably feed a crowd and is every bit as impressive as it is delicious.

If you'd prefer the convenience of boneless portions, we also stock fully trimmed Wester Ross Salmon Sides, expertly prepared and ready for cooking.

A true crowd-pleaser and one of the finest farmed salmon available in the UK.

Did You Know?
Salmon are what's known as an anadromous fish, meaning they begin life in freshwater before migrating to the sea to grow and mature.

Young salmon spend around one to two years in fresh water before undergoing a remarkable transformation known as smoltification. During this process, their bodies adapt from living in freshwater to surviving in seawater.

Once at sea, growth can be astonishingly rapid. A salmon weighing just a few grams as a juvenile can reach 4kg or more within a couple of years.

This ability to thrive in both freshwater and seawater is one of the reasons salmon have fascinated fishermen, scientists and seafood lovers for generations.

From tiny river fish to one of the world's most celebrated seafood species - it's quite a journey.

A whole salmon is surprisingly easy to cook and makes a spectacular centrepiece for entertaining.

Simply place the fish in a roasting tray, season well and fill the cavity with lemon, fresh herbs and a few slices of onion or fennel. Cover loosely with foil and roast until the flesh just begins to flake.

For summer gatherings, whole salmon can also be cooked on a barbecue or in a kettle barbecue with a lid, where the gentle smoke adds wonderful flavour.

Once cooked, allow the fish to rest before serving. The flesh will lift away easily from the bone, making it ideal for sharing at the table.

Serve warm with buttered new potatoes and seasonal vegetables, or allow to cool and accompany with salads, mayonnaise and crusty bread for the perfect buffet centrepiece.

Simple, impressive and guaranteed to feed a crowd.
