Fish
Loin
Sea Trout loin from the fillet is the premium upper back muscle—fine-grained and suited to roasting as a block or cutting into medallions. Flesh is pinker and often richer than purely river trout after time at sea, with a clean marine edge. Avoid overcooking; residual heat finishes the centre after a quick sear. Brown butter, almonds, and soft herbs are classic partners for this cut.
