Prep:

A little butter, lemon and parsley is usually all you need to bring out the delicate flavors of this fish. Try trout with mint and garlic stuffing for a pleasant change.

Loch Etive’s feed conversion ratio have an average of 1.2:1. This means it take just over one pound of wild bait fish to grow one pound of Loch Etive Steelhead. Additionally, these fish have plenty of room to grow. The average stocking density below 17 kg per cubic meter, which is about 98% water and 2% fish. This is one of the lowest stocking densities of any trout farm in the world. Loch Etive’s sea farm sites are allowed to rest for about 8-13 weeks after harvest and also benefit from very high tidal exchanges in these areas. The high exchanges naturally disperse any nutrients from the farm over a wider area.
