Nick Joy wants to prove the farmed salmon naysayers wrong.
“I think it’s worth trying to do something different,” the managing director of Loch Duart Ltd., a Scottish aquaculture company, said in an interview from outside Inverness, Scotland, on Thursday.
Loch Duart, whose highly regarded salmon was served at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, is making its first business foray outside Scotland into Nova Scotia.
A Canadian subsidiary, Snow Island Salmon Inc., has applied to the provincial government for finfish leases on three sites in Shoal Bay, Spry Bay and Beaver Harbour on the Eastern Shore.
Joy, who plans to attend an open house and public meeting at Branch 58 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Sheet Harbour on Feb. 6, said the development could accommodate up to 500,000 fish in 20 pens.
