Organic Food Delivery: Organic Fish

The aquaculture sector is one of the fastest growing segments in international food markets and organic fish produce forms an important part of this sector. Surveys suggest that, in the same way as organic food, the demand for organic fish, is on the increase and at Purely Organic we are proud that our award-winning trout are available online to order for delivery. So, what is organic fish farming and how do we adhere to the regulated fish farming standards?

The term “organic” can, by law, only be used by producers who are approved, monitored and registered by an organic certification bodies which are regulated by the United Kingdom of Organic Food Standards (UKROFS) or EU equivalents. A part of the accreditation process requires that the organic produce is monitored to check that it is being farmed appropriately to the organic standards. Unfortunately this means that all fish caught in the wild cannot be marketed as “organic” and it impossible to monitor the conditions in which it has lived. In fact, organic fish farming is the approved method for producing organic fish.

The pesticides and chemicals involved in conventional fish farming are prohibited
Aquatic ecosystems are maintained
The fish are not fed with food with ingredients containing artificial colour or genetically modified organisms
The farm should promote a good use of local good and services

All of the systems which are mentioned above ensure that we sell top quality trout which is free from all artificial pesticides. This means that the trout tastes better, it provides you with a fantastic source of protein and omega three and you won’t be eating any of those nasty chemicals. Another great benefit is that you can buy the value-added products such as Trout Pâté and Cream

At Purely Organic we specialise in the sale of trout which has been organically farmed. We ensure that the organic food standards which would normally apply to soil are applied to the purity of air and water systems. The water we use in fact comes from our own crystal clear springs and is estimated to have underground for four centuries, is packed full of minerals. We also ensure that the trout, like all of our organic produce, are free from medicine and humanely treated.
