The British Trout Association has over 50 members made up of trout farmers, feed suppliers and a number of aquacultural academics. The Association is entirely funded by trout farmers and feed suppliers and receives no direct funding from the Government.
The BTA represents the UK trout farming industry and aims to provide a legislative framework for the industry, to support research and development and to promote marketing activities within the industry.
British trout has an unmistakeable delicate, clean taste which lends itself to a multitude of dishes. Think pasta, soups, traybakes, curries, stir-fries and pies – anything goes. It’s also very lean and packed with essential nutrients so why not make it a part of your regular diet?
So easy to cook, trout can be pan-fried, poached, baked, barbecued or roasted. Choose from super quick boneless fillets, a side of trout or a whole fish. You can also get tasty smoked trout, perfect for bagels, pates and salads. Find trout in supermarkets, fishmongers and online.
“Well I’ve been busy in the kitchen today making Sunday lunch using some incredible British trout as I want to support our farmers dotted all around the country. In the UK we have almost 290 trout farms and they do a fantastic job of feeding us so let’s give them a shout out! I made trout en croute with a filling of mushrooms, spinach and cream cheese – so easy to do and a great dish for the Christmas season coming up. #shoutoutforbritishtrout”

“I am very pleased to SHOUT OUT FOR BRITISH TROUT. British farmed trout is probably the most sustainable fish farming today. So I am going to be cooking some and I am asking as many of you as I can to try this amazing farmed fish. I am a convert from one that didn’t believe that trout would spice up so well.”
