Loch Fyne Oysters wins Retail Award

The Excellence Awards judged not only the quality of food and drink products but also the companies' environmental and sustainability policies. Loch Fyne was one of the first businesses to place emphasis on sourcing sustainable seafood for their shops and restaurants. At their base in Argyll, Scotland, Loch Fyne Oysters rear their own oysters and mussels and run a traditional smokehouse, smoking and curing fish using methods handed down over the years. Other fish and shellfish are sourced from local day-boats and from independent fish farms working to Organic or Freedom Food standards. Other winners were Cream o'Galloway Dairy Company, who picked up the Environmental award, and Dean's of Huntly who achieved the Brand Development award.
