Cuisine & Edibility

Brown Trout

Firm, flavorful flesh ranging from cream to pink; moderately fatty with a richer taste than rainbow trout. Excellent pan-fried, baked, or smoked; highly regarded as a European table fish.

Discus

Not consumed — a prized ornamental aquarium fish known as the 'king of the aquarium' for its disc-shaped body and brilliant colors.

Species Overview

Brown Trout

The brown trout is native to European rivers and has been introduced worldwide. Renowned for its wariness and intelligence, it is the ultimate quarry for fly fishers. Larger specimens become nocturnal, feeding primarily on smaller fish.

Discus

The discus is often called the 'King of the Aquarium' for its disc-shaped body and stunning color patterns. Native to the Amazon floodplains, it requires warm, soft, acidic water and feeds its fry with a mucus secretion from its skin.
