Unparalleled Quality
We’re the sole producers of sea-reared trout in the UK, exceptional for its size, taste and quality, all from our own unique, award-winning breeding programme, the only one of its kind in the world, and guaranteeing that quality from egg to plate.
Our trout are Steelheads, the rainbow trout that has a natural inclination to migrate to the sea. Like all rainbow trout, the Steelhead is native to the Pacific coastline of North America, but is now found all over the world. We breed it to thrive in our Scottish environment, and have grown it here for over 50 years.
Exquisite Taste
In the sea, the Steelhead grows far bigger, leaner and more athletic than a river trout, more akin to a salmon, but with a sweet, delicate flavour and outstanding firm texture. It has a notable clean taste that a river trout will sometimes struggle to achieve.
We offer superior large trout weighing 3-5kg, alongside sashimi-grade fillets.
Kames Trout also lends itself beautifully to smoking and curing, developing a silky texture and a subtle, sweet depth of flavour.
“A really delicious flavour profile, a magnificent
fish, and superior to salmon in my eyes.”
