smoked TROUT
A large proportion of Goulburn River Trout’s fish are hot smoked. The hot smoking techniques we use, follow the centuries-old, artisanal traditions of continental Europe.
No preservatives or smoke flavour enhancers are used. Our smoked trout are brined using only sugar and salt and we generate smoke using the magnificent local hardwood: Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans). All smoked products are “ready to eat”.
Recipes
Our trout is a very versatile product and can be served and cooked in countless ways. The smoked trout can be served flaked in creamy dips or in pieces as mouth watering hors d'ouvres, or stirred through your favourite risotto or pasta. Our trout can be substiuted for salmon in most salmon recipes - there are endless ideas online and in print.
