Sourcing Sustainable Salmon
Expat Living Singapore|May 2023
We all endeavour to eat delicious, nutritious food that we can trust is responsibly sourced. Back in 2011, SASHA CONLAN took her passion for providing her family with clean food and turned it into a well-loved online grocery business, Sasha’s Fine Foods. Here we take a closer look at one of the “small guys” she sources from.

Sourcing Sustainable Salmon

Why salmon is a healthy choice for your family

Salmon is a lean, healthy source of protein high in heart- and brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids. It’s also one of the best sources of non-dairy calcium and vitamins A, B and D. Salmon is a yummy and affordable option to squeeze in some of your two-to-three recommended weekly serves of fish.

Sasha says that selecting Mount Cook Alpine Salmon as a supplier in 2014 was one of the easiest business decisions she’s ever made. Like with all Sasha’s Fine Foods suppliers, she visited the salmon producers in person. And it was immediately clear not only that Mount Cook produces exceptional quality fish, but that it’s also among the most environmentally-minded salmon farms on the planet.

This producer has the advantage of being located in an incredibly clean and natural location in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. It’s a backdrop from nature against which other salmon producers find it hard to compete. What’s more, it’s the only salmon farm in the world located in Alpine waters (rather than seawater), giving the salmon the mild and subtle flavour it’s known for.

Respecting fish and the planet
