Our story

Cold water, patient hands.

We raise rainbow trout in the Eastern Cape's highland dams, where the cold, oxygen-rich water grows firm, clean-flavoured fish. From dam to dispatch, every step happens on our farm — gutted whole, filleted, smoked or blended into pâté. You taste the care in every cut that reaches your kitchen.

Why our trout

Better water makes a better fish.

Our dams sit high in the Eastern Cape, fed by cold, clear mountain water. That current and that temperature are what give rainbow trout their firm flesh and clean flavour — no muddy bottom, no soft texture, no compromises.

Cold mountain water

Oxygen-rich highland dams grow firmer, cleaner fish.

Handled with care

Gutted, filleted and smoked by hand on the farm.

Prepared the day it leaves

FAQ

Before you ask.

How fresh is the trout when I get it?

Very. We harvest and prepare your fish the same morning it leaves us — never frozen, never sitting in a display.

Can I get the trout gutted?

Yes. Whole trout come gutted on request — just tell us when you enquire and we'll prep it the way you want.

Do you deliver, or do I collect?

We're an in-store / farm-gate operation — you collect from us in the Eastern Cape. Get in touch and we'll talk you through it.

What's the difference between hot smoked and cold smoked?

Our hot smoked trout is cooked through during smoking, giving it a flaky, golden texture — ready to eat straight from the pack.

How should I store it once I get home?

Keep fresh trout chilled and cook within a day or two. Smoked trout and pâté stay good in the fridge for several days in their sealed pack.

What customers say

The Whole Fresh Rainbow Trout we bought for Sunday's braai was exceptionally fresh and delicious. We'll definitely be ordering again!

Ravi A.

I grabbed a few Fresh Trout Fillets for dinner and was blown away by the quality. Fantastic value for money compared to the local supermarkets in the Eastern Cape.

Boitumelo I.

The staff here are so friendly, making it super quick and easy to pick up my weekend groceries. The Hot Smoked Trout is absolutely divine!

Nosipho W.

Ordering was a total breeze, and everyone loved the Trout Pâté at our family lunch. It has such a rich, wonderful flavor!
