Salmon
Salmon are medium-large fish from the salmonidae family. Today salmon is one of the most highly prized fish for food. Its orange-pink to dark red meat is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. It can be eaten raw, boiled, fried or smoked. It transparent orange-coloured roe is traded as “salmon caviar” or “chum caviar”, ideally from the chum salmon, one of five Pacific salmon species.
The wild growing Atlantic salmon (Salmo Salar) is one of the last purely natural, uncontaminated fish species on earth. It grows for 4 to 5 years completely free, naturally and healthily in the clean, clear waters of the Northern Atlantic around Greenland. Wild salmon is very rare at not even one percent of farmed salmon although demand is growing constantly. Ireland, thanks to its clean, intact rivers for spawning, is the only country in Europe to still have significant stocks of wild salmon. Amateur anglers usually catch wild salmon off the West Irish coast when they return to their home rivers after a long journey. Wild salmon catches are state sanctioned and limited in terms of size; this is constantly monitored at catch locations.
Salmon are also grown in so-called aquacultures as the demand for wild salmon cannot be covered and wild fish stocks must be managed responsibly. Much has changed in recent years when it comes to aquaculture. So hardly any antibiotics - if any at all - are still in use. The fish food used is sustainably produced and subject to ongoing strict controls. The habitats (space) in the aquacultures has improved significantly. Mass husbandry is no longer used.

Tuna
Tuna covers eight different types of salt water predator fish that can grow up to 5m long. It is an important food fish. It is characterized by large amounts of particularly good quality protein, up to 21g/100g, which is easily processed by the body. With 0.8 g of fat per 100 gram it is also very lean.
Many know fillets of tuna from the can but it is also eaten raw and grilled by many. Tuna stands out due to its intensive red colour. On contact with air the meat turns brown, which also indicates how fresh the fish is. Fresh tuna is a delicacy and is used raw to prepare sushi and sashimi.

Trout
Trout (salmo trutta) is a member of the salmon family. Trout is found around the world, in the Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic, from Spain to Iceland and Western Russia as well as many neighbouring rivers and lakes in Europe. The species was also introduced by people to the rest of Europe, North and South America, Africa, South Asia, Australia and New Zealand. They are classified as sea, lake and river trout. Some live in open water. But the majority of this popular type of fish is farmed.
Trout is very fine and gentle in terms of taste, giving it the reputation of being a very popular food fish. The bones can be removed easily. Trout contains a lot of omega-3 fatty acids and iodine. Trout fat is healthy and they also contain large quantities of easily digestible protein.

Seabream
The royal seabream or gilthead belongs to the seabream family that is found in the Mediterranean and warm, moderate coastal waters. The slightly rounded head shape and golden band between the eyes is characteristic for the fish, which is about 70 centimetres long. The more intensive the shine on the band, the fresher the fish.
Seabream meat is firm, lean and very tasty. It is very rich in protein and contains many important minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Seabream is popular grilled or fried but is also well-suited as an ingredient in sushi or sashimi. It is important to lightly score the skin of the fine fish before grilling or frying so that is stays whole.
Wild seabream stocks are at risk so it is not wrong to fall back on fish from ecologically operated aquacultures.
