What can you do?

Open-net pen farmed salmon has no place on a sustainable menu, be it in a restaurant, market, or at home.

It’s time to take open-net pen farmed salmon Off the table.

Small changes make a difference

  • Don’t eat open-net pen farmed salmon.
  • Consider eating fish and shellfish that are lower down the food chain.
  • If you want salmon, consider alternatives, such as wild Pacific salmon or Atlantic salmon raised in land-based farms.

Why others have joined the campaign

“My homework on open-net pen farmed salmon shows that this salmon comes with so much environmental damage and such a heavy load of toxic ingredients, it was an instant “never” on our plates. We care about our customers’ health. I am proud to say in 20 years, we have never served it, never will.”

“I actively boycott farmed salmon, both at home and in restaurants. This factory farming of the sea, with its effluents, diseases, pesticides, parasites, is the greatest environmental catastrophe to hit the West coast of Scotland in my lifetime.”
