Product Description
Hand-cured with sea salt and brown sugar, then cold-smoked over a natural oak blend, this trout delivers a balanced smoke profile with a silky texture and bright, clean finish. Steelhead’s fine grain and gentle sweetness come through clearly, rich in color, refined on the palate, and effortless to plate.
Serve well-chilled and sliced thin. Layer on rye or brioche with crème fraîche, lemon, and dill; build a classic bagel spread with capers and red onion; or set on an hors d’oeuvres board with pickled accents. For a warm preparation, fold into soft-scrambled eggs or whisk into a light cream sauce for pasta, the smoke carries without overpowering.
How is the seafood kept fresh during shipping?
Every Direct Seafood order is packed in an insulated cooler with ample dry ice to maintain frozen conditions during transit. Each portion is individually vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness and ensure ease of storage.
When your shipment arrives, the seafood should be fully frozen. Immediately transfer it to your freezer. Any remaining dry ice should be handled with care—either dispose of it using the instructions provided or allow it to dissipate by closing the cooler lid.
