Discover our fish and seafood sourcing
Our Caledonian Gold Salmon is sourced from the crystal-clear waters of Scotland's west coast, Orkney and Shetland. Given plenty of space to swim in strong tidal currents, it develops exceptional texture and flavour. As Alice Holman, M&S Fish Lead Product Developer, says, it has "the freshest flavour and the softest flakes". Our Scottish Smoked Salmon Side showcases it at its best, delicately smoked over oak and apple wood, then finished with candied lemons and oranges, thyme and bay leaves, and a citrus and honey glaze.
For a truly special starter, our Collection 12 Scottish Oyster Selection Box showcases the best of Scotland's waters, featuring oysters from the Isle of Mull, the Isle of Barra and the Ayrshire coast. Each variety offers its own distinctive character, from clean and briny to full and mineral-rich rich, making this a luxurious way to begin any celebration.
All the trimmings
Our festive veg comes from M&S Select Farms we know and trust and is grown by farmers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability through our wider Plan A programme. So whether it’s the golden goose fat roasties made with British Maris Pipers, heritage carrots glazed with honey and blood orange, or maple-roasted parsnips finished with a pecorino crumb, every dish has a story worth celebrating.
Plus, all our sausages, bacon and stuffing – including our famous double-wrapped pigs in blankets, are made with 100% British, outdoor-bred pork.
