While we have become accustomed to the year-round availability of trout roe, taking advantage of its incredibly short true season is special. As the weather chills, for a very short number of weeks, the Trout are in prime condition to be carefully hand-milked for their eggs. This means your diners can enjoy it fresh and in its most natural state.

Andrew at Alpine Trout Farm brings us these beautiful specimens from their idyllic location on the banks of the upper reaches of the La Troube River. Benefitting from an endless supply of alpine-fed water filtering through the farm’s many channels at the foot of the Baw Baw ranges, his Rainbow Trout are some of the finest in Australia.
