Scottish farmed salmon accounts for nearly 30 percent of UK fish sales

Salmon has demonstrated itself to be the most popular fish among UK consumers, with new figures showing sales have risen 3.2 percent within a year.

With Scottish salmon taking centre stage in this year’s St Andrew’s Day celebrations - including receptions in Holyrood and in the British Embassy in Paris - trade body Salmon Scotland reports that recent data shows salmon sales reached £1.25 (€1.45) billion in the 12 months up to September, making up nearly 30 percent of all fish bought in the UK.
