About the Fish: Trout
Biology: Trout (Salmo trutta) is a cold-water fish that lives in freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams across North America, Europe, and Asia. It thrives in clean, oxygen-rich waters and is well-adapted to a variety of aquatic environments.
Taste & Nutrition: Trout has a delicate, mild flavor with a slightly nutty undertone. Its flesh is tender and flaky, with a moderate oil content that gives it a satisfying texture. Trout is rich in high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins B12 and D.
Cooking: Trout will maintain its moist texture through baking, grill, smoking, or pan-searing, meaning you can use it in many different recipes, from simple preparations to more elaborate dishes.
Sustainability: Trout’s generally lower mercury levels compared to larger predatory fish make it a healthy and eco-friendly option. Particularly when it’s sourced from responsible aquaculture or well-managed wild fisheries, trout is a sustainable seafood choice.
