Fish
Ventral
Brown Trout ventral fillet is the belly-side half of the side—richer, softer, and better for gentle heat and short cures. The mouthfeel is silkier than the dorsal half. Cure for a light gravlax-style side, or grill over medium heat. Salt early so seasoning reaches the fat; finish with citrus or bitter leaves.
