Fresh Trout
At Goulburn River Trout, we have our own hatchery and two grow-out farms. Every fish is lifetime traceable (literally from the day of fertilisation to the day of harvest). Our trout are processed in a DAFF (Department of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries) export registered facility, undergoing regular audits to ensure the highest of food processing standards.
Fresh, chilled trout are offered in various size grades, from 250 grams up to 3kg. Packed in cardboard or poly-boxes, according to customer requirement, most chilled trout get from pond to the customer within 24 hours (on the Eastern Seaboard).
Recipes
Our trout is a very versatile product and can be served and cooked in countless ways. The fresh trout can be baked or fried whole or as a fillet. Our trout can be substiuted for salmon in most salmon recipes - there are endless ideas online and in print.
