Here at PCS we offer whole Rainbow Trout as a fresh or smoked option. The fresh option allows you to choose whether to steam, poach, smoke, grill or barbecue yourself. For excellent presentation and ease of preparation the best method is to bake and serve them whole. It is important to remember that trout cooks quickly. Leaving the skin on helps hold the fish together when sautéing or grilling, and skinning the trout after cooking is much easier. Trouts are best appreciated by matching with youthful Rieslings or other delicately flavoured wines.
