WHO ARE THE ORGANIC BUTCHERY?
Starting life as an organic farm in the heart of the West Country, The Organic Butchery is proudly founded on a long history of organic principles. We source the best quality organic grass-fed and wild meats, sustainable fish and organic free-range poultry from trusted local suppliers and like-minded brands to guarantee the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Our mission is to approach butchery with a whole-carcass perspective, to make the most of every animal that crosses our blocks, which means we offer you cuts that you will never see on the supermarket shelves.
WHAT IS ORGANIC SALMON?
We work with an award-winning producer of organic salmon based in Northern Ireland. They hold welfare and sustainability at the heart of their system, the fish are farmed in the chilly, fast-flowing waters of the Irish Sea. This makes them powerful and muscular, so their flesh is firm and well-textured.

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 red onion

- pinch of salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2tbsp olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C

At Coombe Farm Organic we work with JCS fish who supply our organic salmon. JCS fish are one of the UK’s only suppliers of organic salmon production, certified by the Organic Food Federation. We are proud to work with JCS fish as we believe their organic salmon is something very special. The salmon is reared in Spring which mimics an Atlantic salmon’s natural reproductive cycle. The salmon are fed an approved organic feed which is GMO free, with only natural pigments used in the organic salmon feed, resulting in a slightly paler flesh, in comparison to conventionally farmed salmon whose feed have been manipulated to enhance their pink flesh colour. Space is essential in any organic farming system and these salmon are no exception, being given the freedom to move and grow, the space is double that of conventional fish farming systems. This space paired with clean saltwater with a strong flow ensures the salmon grow lean and strong, resulting in a better tasting fish.

When you buy organic salmon, you are buying salmon that has come from a trusted source, with the highest welfare standards at the heart of its production. Organic salmon production is regulated to ensure lower stocking densities, conditions that mimic nature as closely as possible and that fed is GMO free. We believe organic salmon is a better tasting fish as a result of the organic condition in which it was produced, but don’t just take our word for it, try it for yourself.
