The term "salmon" comes from the Latin salmo, which in turn might have originated from salire, meaning "to leap".[4] The nine commercially important species of salmon occur in two genera. The genus Salmo contains the Atlantic salmon, found in the north Atlantic, as well as many species commonly named trout. The genus Oncorhynchus contains eight species which occur naturally only in the North Pacific. As a group, these are known as Pacific salmon. Chinook salmon have been introduced in New Zealand and Patagonia. Coho, freshwater sockeye, and Atlantic salmon have been established in Patagonia, as well.
We work with some of the country’s leading suppliers of fresh salmon, supplying throughout the British Isles and Europe. We deal in farmed, organic and wild salmon.
