Smoked Trout Roe

Smoked Trout Roe (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a vibrant culinary jewel harvested from premium rainbow trout. Distinguished by its luminous, translucent orange hue and medium grain, it balances pristine freshness with deep, savory complexity. Cold-smoked in small batches using select hardwoods, the eggs keep their signature firm texture and satisfying pop, opening with a clean, mild salinity that gives way to a lingering, sophisticated smokiness. A bold, approachable entry point to the world of roe.

Tasting notes: Clean mild salinity up front, a firm satisfying pop, and a lingering hardwood smokiness.

Serving suggestions: Shines on soft-scrambled eggs, or as a "high-low" appetizer of salted potato chips and crème fraîche. Equally at home on blinis or toast.

Freshness & storage: Keep refrigerated between 28°F and 38°F (-2°C to 3°C) and never freeze, as this damages the delicate casings. Unopened, it stays at peak freshness for up to four weeks; once opened, enjoy within 48 hours for the best pop. Use a mother-of-pearl, glass, or plastic spoon and avoid metal, which can oxidize the roe and add a metallic taste.
