“Well I’ve been busy in the kitchen today making Sunday lunch using some incredible British trout as I want to support our farmers dotted all around the country. In the UK we have almost 290 trout farms and they do a fantastic job of feeding us so let’s give them a shout out! I made trout en croute with a filling of mushrooms, spinach and cream cheese – so easy to do and a great dish for the Christmas season coming up. #shoutoutforbritishtrout”

Served with smoked quinoa & basmati rice & a gingered miso dressed salad.

“This is a #ShoutOutForBritishTrout. Not only is British Trout highly sustainable, it is healthy, tasty and a low-fat fish everyone can enjoy.
As I age I need to be more mindful of how I fuel myself. British Trouts ticks so many boxes for me!
Recommended by Public Health England to be eaten at least once a week for the following reasons:
📌High in protein
📌Low in saturated fat
📌Rich in Omega3 to support brain function, reduce risk of stroke and heart attacks and for a strong immune system.
📌Rich in Vitamin D with oily fish like British trout being one of the best sources – needed for good bone density and healthy immune system.”
Sally Gunnell, Olympic gold medallist
“Lovely cured British trout. A seriously underrated and underused fish – lightly cured and served with a beetroot caraway orange salad with shallot, chive creme fraiche dressing and chopped smoked trout. #shoutoutforbritishtrout”
Jane Baxter, Wild Artichokes
“Spent Coffee Cured British Trout. British Trout is highly under utilised product but should be one we are extremely proud of. It was a product that I championed on Great British Menu a year back. I’ve cured this side in waste coffee grains and brown sugar, then smoked lightly over birch bark and hay. The texture of the flesh and the deep colour is unbelievable. #shoutoutforbritishtrout”
Ivan Tisdall-Downes, Native
