This stuff is great. I get the hype. I recognize this is a premium tin but this stuff got my SO to like a tin of fish and he usually thinks my snacks smell like cat food. A+
The smoke flavor is balanced, the juniper and lemon thyme offer a subtle, fragrant backdrop. I didn’t dress this all that much because the fish is so delicate. Just a little sea salt and black pepper with plain cream cheese on a plain bagel.
Could not recommend more. For anyone who has tried other trout like Cole’s, Porthos, etc., where does this rank? What trout would you recommend to try next?

It is my favorite, but the price makes me want to take a nap
Cole’s are great, super mellow with a nice smokey taste, haven’t been disappointed yet
I think the only brands of tinned smoked trout I’ve seen around here are Cole’s and Trader Joe’s. Both are very good. TJ’s trout is one of my all-time favourite tinned fish. It’s a little more substantial than Cole’s, which is more pale and delicate.
I have this tin but haven’t popped it open yet. This just made me more excited!
Too slippery and smelly to sleep on
This is one of the best tinned fish I’ve tried. Absolutely delicious.
Smoked trout is amazing. I love all the variety from different brands
