The Mey Selections range is managed and presented by Loch Fyne Oysters.

Managing Director of Loch Fyne, Cameron Brown. said:

“The Mey Selections is an initiative which was launched by HRH the Duke of Rothesay in 2005 to foster closer connections between farmers, fine food producers and customers, helping to maintain a traditional and balanced way of life in the North Highlands.  All ‘Mey Selections’ produce is sourced within 150 miles of the Castle of Mey. Products and producers must meet quality standards to be part of the range.

“HRH Prince Charles’ initiative to create the Mey Selections brand to support food producers in the North Highlands of Scotland has really helped us demonstrate the high quality of Scottish produce.  Buyers in international markets want to know that they’re getting the best smoked salmon, and what better mark of quality than a royal association.”

“Our royal heritage is very popular overseas so the support of a brand inspired by His Royal Highness Prince Charles helps us to underline the high quality and exceptional flavour of Scottish produce in international markets. Our smoked and marinated salmon products in the Mey Selections range has been crafted by our award-winning smokery.”
