FBF Open Water Sustainable Trout
Stop by for a free taster of some gorgeous BBQ’d Trout & our farms hand picked asparagus! Scotty ..The Grill Master.. will be at your service. We are thrilled to offer the first sustainable source of rainbow trout raised exclusively in open waters off of Manitoulin Island. No contaminants, hormones or anitbiotics. We are fond of calling this trout FBF – Fresh Beyond Frozen. Within hours of swimming John O Food’s team processes the trout using the newest technology in a state of the art cryogenic freezing tunnel that flash freezes the fish and packages it in thermal sealing vac packaging. What does all this mean…once defrosted which just takes minutes you can literally smell the lake on this fish and taste how fresh it is.
