As more and more foodies are born, more and more questions have been raised about where restaurant’s and grocery stores get their ingredients. This, of course, is a fair question. Everybody deserves to know what exactly they are eating. The questions of wild versus farm raised seafood comes into play more frequently than not and it’s important to know details about both.

There are a lot of people out there that will tell you that farm raised salmon is the wrong way to go. They say that there are high levels of mercury and other chemicals in the food that is fed to the salmon before it ends up on your plate. BUT, as with all stereotypes, this is unfair. Not all farm raised salmon is like that.

On the other side of the debate – wild caught salmon is not from some guy who went out with his fishing pole and caught your dinner. Most wild caught salmon are captured in trawling nets that scrape the sea floor and pick up around 8 pounds of other marine life and debris for every 2 pounds of salmon caught.

M&D is proud to say that we serve Farmed Salmon from the Feroe Islands in the North Atlantic. The Feroe Islands are located between Scotland and Iceland and produce some of the best salmon in the world. They are 100% antibiotic free and raised in all natural sea pens with strong currents and icy cold water.

I was born a foodie. My dad is a chef, baker, and restaurant owner and my mom might as well be because she owns whatever kitchen she walks into. I grew up working in my family’s restaurant and bakery in Pawling, New York – McKinney and Doyle. I started behind the bakery counter at 12 years old after begging my parents to let me start working. At 16 I worked as a hostess. By 18 I was serving tables and training behind the bar where I then worked every other weekend throughout my college career. Even now, when I am visiting my family in New York, I help out where I’m needed. To make a long story short, the food and restaurant industry has been my life for as long as I can remember.

I wanted to create this blog for a few reasons. First and foremost, to share tips, tricks, and knowledge about the food and beverage industry in general but also to help people see a different side of the restaurant world. Every restaurant has a totally unique culture and world within it. I want to help open people’s eyes to more than how fast the service is or how easy or hard it is to secure a reservation.

So, thanks for stopping by! I welcome your ideas, input, and feedback and hope you enjoy!

Eat well & travel often,

Becky McKinney
