Salmon is back at Rockfish. But, at the risk of paraphrasing that much-loved British high street brand, “this is not just any salmon, this is Glenarm Organic Salmon”. And it’s a game-changer. It’s the kind that seafood lovers and chefs talk about with the sort of reverence usually reserved for Burgundy wines and summer tomatoes, and it absolutely isn’t farmed in the way you might expect of salmon...
We’ve held back from listing salmon on our market for years. Not because we don’t love it (we do), but because we hadn’t found a source that lived up to the standards we set for everything we sell — traceable, responsible, flavour-first seafood.
Until now.
Tucked along the windswept Antrim coast in Northern Ireland, Glenarm Organic Salmon quietly produces what many consider the finest organic salmon in the world. The team behind it are farmers, yes, but they’re also custodians. They believe, as we do, that if you look after the sea, the sea looks after you.
What Makes Glenarm So Special?
This isn’t salmon churned out of industrial pens. Glenarm runs just two small sites, in Glenarm Bay and Red Bay, each separated by 11 miles of fast-moving sea. The tides in the North Channel aren’t gentle - they’re lively, energetic, wild. The fish swim constantly in these strong currents, building lean muscle and developing the kind of firm texture you only get from salmon that’s lived a proper life.
They’re raised with care and space. Stocking densities are low, which means there’s no need for routine antibiotics or chemical interventions. The fish thrive in clean waters and are fed a diet of natural, organic ingredients sourced sustainably and monitored carefully. The result is salmon that doesn’t just look better - it tastes better. Big, juicy flakes. Clean, smooth flavour. Uncommonly good.
So… How Does It Taste?
Quite simply, it’s the best salmon we’ve ever eaten. It has that rare balance of richness and clarity — meaty but not muddy, delicate yet deeply satisfying. Pan-seared, oven-baked, grilled or poached, it behaves beautifully in the pan and on the plate. We’ve secured a limited allocation, and we’ll be listing it throughout the week — available while stocks last
Why This Salmon, Why Now?
Glenarm doesn’t just produce extraordinary salmon — they protect the waters that make it possible. Their farms are certified organic and regularly audited by Global Trust, as well as environmental agencies across Northern Ireland.
For us, it’s the perfect partnership: a product that tastes exceptional, raised in a way that reflects everything we believe about seafood.
We’re thrilled to bring salmon back to Rockfish — and even more thrilled that it’s this salmon.
