The newest development in Scottish salmon sees the British delicacy fish being sought after all over the world, particularly by Asians across the entire continent, as the Scottish fish becomes increasingly popular in the continent that created salmon-loving dishes like sushi.
Following the failed vote towards independence from the United Kingdom, Scotland's own economy is still soaring high as the country's products become increasingly more interesting for foreign markets; in the latest, the Scottish salmon has become among the favorites in the Asian continent, a fact that, due to how heavily populated the countries in the region are, could mean a big change for the better in the economy.
According to Under Current News, Scottish salmon has been increasingly become popular in the different circles of consumers across the world, as sales were up 27 percent this year as a whole; back in 2013, the sales of the Scottish mostly farmed fish reached an all-time high, which made it the second-largest food export in the United Kingdom at the time, right after confectionary and chocolate.
However, it seems that the 2013 numbers pale in comparison to what happened to Scottish salmon in 2014, since it is estimated a much larger revenue from salmon this year - in 2013, the chocolate and confectionary industry was the most sought-after by only one million pounds.
According to Scotland Now, sales of the fish from £100,000 ($155086.50) in 2008 to an impressive £50 million ($77,543,250) in 2013, as the product's popularity grows in the well-populated Asian country.
Scott Landsburgh, the chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation, said:
"Qualities such as firm flesh and distinct flavours, combined with Scottish provenance and tradition, have all been crucial to establishing our export markets in Europe, North America and the Far East," said Scott Landsburgh, who is the chief executive of the Scottish Salmon Producers' Organization, according to The Independent.
Landsburgh also stated that the brand was protected by sustainable production standards to ensure high-quality, farmed fish.
