Our applewood hot-smoked Steelhead trout is kippered style, smoked in small batches at family-owned smokehouse, Samaki, located in the Hudson Valley. "Hot" refers to the high temperature at which it is smoked (145 degrees), not the flavor profile! Super flakey and decadent texture, delicious in a variety of preparations.

No hormones, antibiotics or artificial dyes.

General

We are located in Hudson, NY, a couple of hours north of New York City.

Currently, we only offer Steelhead trout. However, we offer a variety of Steelhead products, including whole fish (cleaned & gutted), fresh fillets, cold-smoked, hot-smoked and more coming soon!

We use what's called Recirculating Aquaculture. It's a farm system located in-land, where we control the environment our fish live in. This allows us to provide our Steelhead with the perfect conditions to grow happy and healthy, as well as our customers with the best quality possible. In additition, we grow, harvest and process our fish all on-site and deliver directly to our customers' door -- this means a much smaller and efficient supply chain than most of the seafood found in grocery stores. Our Steelhead trout is 100% traceable from egg to plate, with a fraction of the carbon emissions compared to imported seafood.

Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) have several advantages over more traditional fish farming methods. Our inland biosecure facility keeps our fish in and predators and diseases out, meaning there’s no escapes from our farm and no interactions between our fish and native wildlife. Our isolation also means that we don’t need antibiotics or hormones to make our fish grow healthy and strong. We treat and reuse our water, meaning less discharge and less impact on the environment.  Another advantage of RAS is the ability to locate systems close to major food markets, meaning a quicker time to market and a smaller carbon footprint compared to offshore farms and fishing boats.

We are proud to be 4 star BAP certified. BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) is the only aquaculture certification program that certifies every step of the production chain, from hatchery, to feed mill, to farm and finally processing. BAP's standards are built on 4 main pillars, with traceability as its foundation. The 4 pillars include environmental responsibility, animal health & welfare, food safety, and social accountability. Our priority is to ensure health and safety for our fish, our community, our customers and our environment. Each year, BAP audits our operation to maintain this high standard of responsibility.

You can find us at several farmers markets - here are our locations and market days. New markets might be added based on the season. In addition, we offer home deliveries nationwide with free local shipping (200 miles from Hudson) on orders of $65 or more after discounts are applied.

Our Fish

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!

Our fillets and whole fish are all fresh from our weekly harvest, never frozen. When you place an order with us, you recieve the freshest fish possible, harvested, processed and packed all on-site at our farm in Hudson, NY.

Fresh fillets & whole fish: 14 days from the harvest date listed on the packaging, 6 months in the freezer (in its packaging).

Smoked products: 30 days in the fridge unopened. Once opened, 4-5 days in the fridge. 6 months in the freezer (in its packaging).
