Support the hard-working British farmers this British Food Fortnight by buying British trout. British trout has a whole lot going for it…
Tasty and versatile – trout has a very clean and delicate taste which needs very little adding to it. For a quick and delicious meal in minutes simply fry trout fillets in some butter then season with salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon. However, trout is also a great carrier of other flavours too! If you want a punchy flavour try trout with green curry paste or marinate for 20 minutes in soy sauce, lime, ginger and garlic for an Asian twist.
Pan-fry, poach, bake, barbecue; add cooked trout to salads, wraps, pasta; enjoy smoked trout on bagels, with scrambled eggs or in a pate – it’s endlessly versatile.
Easy to cook - a boneless fillet of trout takes just ten minutes or less to bake or poach depending on the thickness, and a whole trout wrapped in foil is ready in as little as 20 minutes. Even a couple of minutes over won’t matter – it will stay nice and moist because it’s in the oily fish category making it a good choice for novice cooks.
Healthy choice - Registered Nutritionist, Lucy Williamson who says: “We should all be eating trout at least once a week as it’s classed as an oily fish which is packed with antioxidants and Omega 3 – essential for our heart, brain and immune system health. It’s a great way to boost our levels of Vitamin D too as oily fish is one of the very few foods to contain this essential vitamin which otherwise has to come from the action of sunshine on our skin.”
Sustainable – If you care about the environment, British trout is one of the most efficient fish to farm, with minimal waste products, excellent health, clean water, and responsibly sourced feed.

Glorious Game aims to help increase the appeal of this hugely underappreciated but delicious, lean and nutritious meat. Inspired by her upbringing in the Angus Glens, and her Grandmother, who was a wonderful cook, Sophie has always been obsessed with food but is only too aware that not everyone shares her passion for game, which is often over-looked, or disliked for no good reason.
