Our salmon is considered safe to eat raw. It is EU farmed, pellet fed & individually inoculated, which means it’s exempt from the requirement to be frozen prior to being eaten raw or lightly cooked. However each pregnancy is unique to an individual so it’s best to liaise directly with your GP.
There are very small amounts of alcohol found in some of our dishes.

We use mirin [a Japanese spirit] in our teriyaki sauce & there’s a very low alcohol content in our miso soups.
