4 slices of rainbow trout, aquaponically raised, smoked with beechwood string. The slices are separated with spacers to make it easier to take the slices. Slicing is done manually by our craftsman.
This trout is from aquaponics.
Aquaponics, i.e. the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, consists of the breeding of fish in symbiosis with the cultivation of plants above ground.
This integrated system is productive. It allows fish rearing and the cultivation of plants and fruits. It requires little water and little soil.
- fish fertilize the water
- the water feeds the plants
- the plants purify the water which returns to the fish
It also makes a real contribution to global food security in the future by controlling fish feed and focusing on quality.
This is an environmentally friendly and visionary project that could pave the way for more sustainable farming with fewer inputs to produce a wide variety of high value healthy food all year round.
Our system being small, we can't fish every week, the produce is mostly frozen to meet demand. Because thawing is done slowly, the flavor, texture and quality of thawed smoked products remain similar to fresh.
