{"title":"Sea trout","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea trout is a seasonal fish with pink flesh finer and more delicate than salmon, sometimes called sewin in Wales. We prepare it to order at the counter, as \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sea-trout-wild\"\u003efillets, portions or a whole side\u003c\/a\u003e, skin on or off. Priced by weight, filleted, pin-boned and skinned by hand at no charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea trout is the seasonal treat that sits between salmon and trout, with a finer texture and a more delicate flavour than salmon and a colour just as good on the plate. It is a fish for late spring and summer, it poaches, roasts and grills gently, and it rewards simple herbs and a light hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it tastes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelicate, sweet and clean, with fine pink flesh softer and more subtle than salmon and richer than river trout. It has enough natural oil to stay moist but a lighter texture than salmon, so it needs gentle cooking and a careful eye. The flavour is refined and does not want heavy sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to cook it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoast a fillet or side at 180C, \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/how-to-poach-fish\"\u003epoach it gently\u003c\/a\u003e, bake it in foil with herbs and lemon, or pan-fry a portion skin-side first. It suits a light touch. Being finer than salmon, it cooks a little faster, so take it off as it just flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat goes with it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDill, cucumber and watercress. New potatoes, peas and asparagus in season. Lemon, crème fraîche and a light hollandaise, or samphire and butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long it takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fillet roasts in 10 to 14 minutes, pan-fries in 3 to 4 minutes skin-side then a minute on the flesh, and a whole side bakes in 20 to 25 minutes. It cooks a touch faster than salmon. Times vary with thickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea trout is high in protein and carries omega 3, with a little less fat than farmed salmon. A typical fillet carries around 20 grams of protein. It also carries vitamin D and B12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSustainability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk at the counter for the day's sourcing. Sea trout is seasonal, and we can advise on the season and suggest an alternative like salmon or trout if you want one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to buy it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the counter at 18 Barnes High Street, cut to order, or delivered across south west London and shipped across the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between sea trout and salmon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea trout has finer, more delicate pink flesh and a more subtle flavour than salmon, with a little less fat. It cooks a touch faster and suits gentle cooking and light flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen is sea trout in season?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea trout is a late spring and summer fish. Ask at the counter for the season and the day's sourcing, and we will suggest salmon or trout when sea trout is not around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I cook sea trout without drying it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCook it gently and take it off the heat as it just flakes, because its finer flesh cooks a little faster than salmon. Roasting at a moderate heat, poaching or baking in foil all keep it moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I eat sea trout raw?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery fresh sea trout is fine to eat raw and is often cured for a gravadlax or sliced thin as sashimi. Ask at the counter for fish suitable for eating raw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I freeze sea trout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight. The texture is firmer fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs sea trout high in protein?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
