Why Irish organic salmon is worth it
Not all salmon is created equal and the difference between organic Irish salmon and standard farmed salmon is remarkable — visible, tasteable and worth every penny of the price difference. Organic Irish salmon is raised to the highest certified standards. Lower stocking densities mean the fish have more space to move and develop naturally. Certified organic feed means no synthetic additives or artificial colouring. Cleaner, better managed water means healthier fish with a naturally superior flavour profile. The result is a fish with noticeably deeper colour — that rich deep coral to vibrant orange tone that is the hallmark of truly premium salmon — better flavour, firmer more satisfying texture and extraordinary natural fat marbling that makes it both more delicious to eat and more forgiving to cook.
“The difference between organic and standard farmed salmon is visible the moment you open the package – deeper colour, better marbling, a richer smell of the sea”
When you are buying salmon look for three things. First the colour — organic Irish salmon should be a deep rich coral to vibrant orange. If it is pale pink it has not been raised to organic standards. Second the marbling — those fine white fat lines running through the flesh should be generous and evenly distributed. Third the smell — fresh organic salmon should smell clean and of the sea, never fishy or ammonia-like.
