Whole Steelhead Trout 2.0lbs

Our fish are not wild-caught but also not farmed traditionally. We use something called a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) - it's a land-based, closed and controlled system where we grow our fish away from our oceans. This means it is never exposed to diseases and pollutants from the wild, allowing us to grow our fish without antibiotics or hormones, which is often the case with net-pen farming.

Working closely with our BAP certified feed supplier, we strive to ensure our fish are fed a wholesome diet free from antibiotics, hormones, and nonnutritive fillers. That means there is never any
feather-meal, corn, or soy in our feed. We source fish meal and fish oil from responsibly managed fisheries and use the all-natural antioxidant (astaxanthin) which also gives wild salmon its wonderful red color. 

Yes! Our Steelhead trout is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential nutrients for human health which the body cannot produce by itself, meaning it must be obtained from food. One 4oz serving of our Steelhead fillets contains 900mg of omega-3s, providing adults with half of the recommended weekly serving of omega-3s.

We never use hormones or antibiotics on our fish. Because they live away from the oceans, they are never exposed to diseases or pollutants, allowing us to raise them in a healthy environment without the need to treat them.

Steelhead trout are cousins of salmon, with a similar color and flavor profile, but differ in their basic species classification. Both fish belong to the family of salmonids, but steelheads are a trout species, not a salmon species.

Steelhead trout have a similar flavor profile to salmon but with a more mild, less fishy taste. In addition, it's less fatty than salmon, with a flaky texture that melts in your mouth!
