Trova Trout Sterile Eggs (Triploid)

We produce sterile Rainbow and Brown trout eggs from May to mid-August. Our procedure involves pressure-shocking eggs after fertilization. This delicate and strictly controlled process allows us to guarantee an industry standard triploid success rate of ≥95%.

• Triploid eggs are all female
• No maturation concerns. This improves flesh quality and promotes faster growth rates to large sizes
• Fish are suitable for release without genetic impact, as the fish cannot breed with native populations

Trout “Caviar”

Trout “Caviar” or Roe is unfertilized trout eggs for human consumption. The caviar is produced using young female hens (less than 2 years old) and the eggs are therefore very small (≤12,000 per litre).

Trout “Caviar” has a balanced sweet and savoury flavour. The Caviar is lightly cured and has a firm exterior. They deliver a sensational pop on the palate adding textural theatre to any dish.
