Collection: Smoke in Chimney's Trout

Rainbow trout from Smoke in Chimneys, raised in cold Virginia spring water an hour from here. Fillets and smoked.

Spring raised, not pond raised

The water comes out of the mountain at a constant temperature and runs straight through the raceways, which is why the fish are clean tasting with none of the muddiness people associate with farmed trout.

Fillets take four or five minutes in a hot pan, skin side down, and nothing more than butter and salt. The smoked trout is ready to eat, and it is excellent on toast with a squeeze of lemon.

Order online and collect at the Pure Grass Farm store, 457 Country Club Rd, Troutville, VA, fifteen minutes north of Roanoke.
