Please do the right thing & stop sourcing salmon from the Faroes! https://t.co/HXraRH0RSC @domdyer70 @DeborahMeaden @ChrisGPackham @PeterEgan6 @seashepherd @CaptPaulWatson pic.twitter.com/J6CUTLGatv
Rick Stein continues to remain silent on which farms in the Faroes he sources salmon from - his online shop merely states that "the salmon is sourced from two salmon farms in the Faroe Islands".
Stein sources his Faroese salmon from Severn & Wye:

In April 2021, Rick Stein was forced to admit his salmon came from farms in the Faroes following a complaint to Trading Standards.

Meanwhile, Faroese salmon farmer Bakkafrost (owner of The Scottish Salmon Company) has publicly condemned the slaughter of dolphins in the Faroes.
This is the very brief statement from the CEO of #Bakkafrost (largest seafood exporter on #FaroeIslands) regarding the massacre of 1428 Atlantic White-Sided Dolphins at Skálabotnur beach on Sunday 12 September 2021, and my response to it. For the dolphins, #BoycottFaroeIslands! https://t.co/Kh5OFu6ijU pic.twitter.com/SmhnCRGU74

Hyprocrisy @salmon_scottish - Bakkafrost (Faroese owners of 'Scottish' Salmon Co) condemn slaughter of 1,500 dolphins as “totally unacceptable” yet condone welfare abuse of millions of farmed salmon & use of noisy ADDs which harm cetaceans!https://t.co/fI6y3IPk8W @ClydePorpoise

Scottish Salmon Watch has asked celebrity chef Rick Stein to stop flogging Faroese salmon and sign a petition calling on the UK Government to suspend the Free Trade Agreement with the Faroes.
