We buy local trout from Houghton Springs Farm in Dorset. It’s harvested at the perfect size to serve whole, ideal for grilling or baking. Life in its natural, spring-fed, freshwater ponds gives Houghton Springs trout a delightful nutty flavour, more subtle than salmon, with firm, pink-to-orange flesh and small flakes. A great source of Omega-3 oils, it also has comparatively less fat than other oil-rich fish.
Our whole trout are typically 450g-600g. The smaller fish are a generous main course for one, larger fish should serve two.
