Dorsal

Fish

Dorsal

Rainbow Trout dorsal fillet sits toward the back—firmer and slightly leaner than the belly half, with a clean flake that holds shape in the pan. Good for neat steaks and composed plates. Cook with a little basting fat so the leaner muscle stays moist. Excellent en papillote or with a light herb crust.
