Crabs, kelp and mussels: Argentina’s waters teem with life

[carride]

This company, who won recent award, is the reason why I have not needed to buy Chile Salmon in Argentina over the past two years. These large Patagonia Rainbow Salmonidae Trout are of higher quality, raised much healthier in better waters, with modern techniques vs older techniques of chile salmon farms. Now a quality export, that we get even fresher in Argentina. A bit smaller fish vs salmon, but not much, still buy a 2.5kg whole head on fish for the grill or 800gm whole filets. We have been buying every 1-2 weeks since the beginning of the year usually one filet raw for a 3 day cure, and the other cooked.

According to Morales, Salmon Trout has already begun to compete for market share with imported salmon, which dominates local supermarket shelves. “We are gaining significant recognition in the local market with this trout, and today we are replacing salmon imports,” he emphasized. “We are very pleased to see our product on supermarket shelves in the domestic market.

El emprendimiento que ganó el premio PYME Oro y busca abrir una nueva industria en el país

Salmon Trout fue creada hace una década a partir de un trabajo de investigación de la Facultad de Agronomía de la UBA. Hoy cultiva truchas que sustituyen el producto importado en las góndolas y apunta a la exportación.

Seems promising will go try it. Where do you find Salmon Trout products? particularly interesting is the fact that is healthier and produced by newer techniques than the Chilean Salmon . Number two in the world after Norway.
Maybe they will add sliced smoked salmon, my favorite.
Will try it and comment . Please mention the prices

I am not in any position to say either of those type of fish is healthier than the other. I know the Chile farmed salmon has well known issues with an abundance of antibiotics, and given a diet of less than ideal processed feed. Plus methods that are damaging to the local environment, which must have some affect on the quality of the fish. Not deal breakers, I guess, but enough for me to want alternatives.

The article posted highlights that they are raised free of antibiotics, with care of the environment in their methodology, including less fishmeal for a more plant based diet. the other positives are described in that news. I do find the fatty section of the fish is different enough vs Salmon that i use it in a fish cake or soup.

I do not know where you can buy. I get the whole 2-2.5kg fish from a restaurant supplier for $18-19000 per kilo. I am told the source is the same as mentioned in article, and from the consistent and constant availability I believe it is of the quality described.

Is the "salmon trout" also known as "truchón". If so, it's available from Rio Caribe by delivery for 32000 Pesos / kg. I had a fillet of this which was very nice. For comparison, pink salmon (from the Pacific) is 41000 Pesos / kg. Prices for fillets. Red tuna 44500 Pesos / kg.

The owner of Rio Caribe told me one sushi restaurant they deliver to prefers the truchón to the pacific salmon.

I do not know. For many years I would buy the small, maybe 700g, whole butterflied trout. Those were inconsistent, probably because of processing, transportation, packaging and local refrigeration issues.

These other bigger trout are always approximately 800g filets, or 2.5kg whole. Vacuum sealed. I have read in the past news that a number of Bariloche area (rio negro y neuquén) farms, the Salmon Trout company included, are all using the same new processing plant which prepare and ship quickly at high standards. So, for this reason I trust most of the large rainbow trout from this area even if they are all not the award winning company mentioned above. I assume they are all using similar technique based on the CONICET knowledge mentioned in the article.
