Rainbow Trout  is the latin name for the main trout species produced in Denmark. Our total production of rainbow trout is approximately 5.000 tons per year.

 

Most of our trout is harvested as large trout in the months November-January after almost 3 years after spawning. At that time, the trout will have reached a size of 2-5 kg, which is the most popular size for the retail and food service market, and for further reprocessing in the smoking industry.

 

A smaller proportion of our trout is sold as portion sized trout, meaning a size of 250-500 gram. This size is mainly used as smoked filets and sold live for further reprocessing in Denmark.
 
 

Most of our large trout from 2 kg up to 5 kg is farmed at our sea farms off the coasts of Denmark. Every year in April we transport our trout from our inland trout farms to sea.  In November/December the same year after 7-8 months at sea, our trout is ready for slaughtering and is carefully transported in large well boats to our slaughtering facility in Aarosund in the South of Jutland.

 

Our large trout is sold fresh or frozen head-on, gutted or head-off gutted. In the season, we also offer fresh trout, head-on gutted.
