ALL UNSLICED
My smoked trout comes as if you'd made it yourself - unsliced. You get greater freshness throughout shelf life and more flexibility of eating and presentation. Slicing just as you serve is also a great Christmas spectacle for all to enjoy.

IT'S DELICIOUS

The gin clear mineral rich chalk streams they are raised in and trout's naturally lean character gives a beautifully delicate and complex taste and a pleasing bite in texture, perfect for curing and smoking. Firm, never slimy, never fishy and ideal genuinely remarkable for breakfasts, canapés and any other time when subtlety is key.

NO SHORTCUTS

It takes me four days to take a whole fish to a saleable piece of cold smoked trout. To get it really good, it just takes more time. Each stage of the process is carefully monitored and ended only when it is deemed right. The all important resting in between is also pivotal to allow flavours to balance and meld. Larger producers don't make this time, but I very much do.

A GENUINELY SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

The marine conservation society list freshwater reared rainbow trout as the recommended improvement on unsustainable farmed salmon because manifold consequences that result from open net salmon farming simply aren't in the picture. It's also just down the road in Hampshire - way fewer food miles.

LOCAL SHOW STOPPER

Presenting and slicing your stunning fillet of locally produced cold smoked trout for your guests at Christmas is a really memorable feeling. Slicing a loaf of bread is harder than this - you don't need a special knife. You're making a genuinely more sustainable switch and supporting a small business too.
