We are the publicly-facing brand of South West Aquaculture CIC, dedicated to celebrating and promoting the South West’s rich aquaculture heritage through engaging educational events, unique products, and a deep connection to the region’s food and art.

Aquaculture is often associated with recent advancements in salmon farming, which, while contributing to sustainability and reducing pressure on wild fish stocks, has faced its challenges. In contrast, the South West aquaculture sector stands out for its focus on low trophic species such as oysters, mussels, scallops, and seaweed—sustainable and innovative products at the forefront of global demand.

Freshwater species like trout and Arctic char also play a crucial role, offering nutritious, high-quality protein while supporting local food systems. These species showcase the diversity and vitality of the South West’s aquaculture industry, which is driven by micro and small-scale businesses working with care, innovation, and respect for the environment.

At C&C, we collaborate with these local producers to create events and products that highlight the artistic, cultural, and culinary potential of the South West’s aquaculture heritage. Our goal is to inspire the public and showcase this sector’s vital role in producing sustainable, high-value food.

Our shop exclusively features products from businesses and artisans based in the South West, prioritising those who actively contribute to the growth of the industry and work to enhance public awareness and appreciation of aquaculture. By supporting us, you are directly contributing to the development of this heritage-rich, sustainable, and innovative sector.
