A salmon company offering fresh and smoked salmon fillets and cobblestones, as well as a tour of the aquaponics farm.
The Cherbourg-based farmed salmon operation - created in 1991 - has succeeded in producing a product of excellence right from the start. The secret behind the success of France's only salmon farm at sea? Salmon that have enough space and currents to swim and build up their muscles, and quality feed, carefully distributed. All this is protected by the dyke of Cherbourg's large harbor, and the result of all this care and scrupulously respected specifications is a top-of-the-range, low-fat, very tasty salmon. Its quality far exceeds the standards imposed by the famous Label Rouge, with a fish concentration of 12 kilos per cubic meter of water, whereas the label imposes a limit of 20 kilos! Both in appearance and taste, it is very similar to its wild Irish cousin. While it is a guest at the region's finest tables, it can also be found on the market under the Saumon de France label. The brand offers fresh and smoked salmon fillets and steaks direct from the production site. Everything is done here: from breeding to fish processing, which takes place in the factory located just a few hundred meters from the harbor. With the help of its success - some Parisian restaurateurs are crazy about it - it's sometimes hard to find, due to the seasonal nature of the fisheries: don't hesitate to visit the boutique, where you can buy these marvels of the sea directly.
