Trout

- also known as Salmon Trout or Rainbow Trout

 AquaPri has been farming trout for more than 60 years and is one of the largest trout farmers in Denmark. We have 13 land-based trout farms and 6 sea cage sites and are farming approx. 6,000 tons / year.

Our Danish trout are hatched at our inland hatcheries, where they spend the first months of their lives. The controlled environment of these farms allows us to ensure the very best conditions for their on-growing. When they are about two years old, most of the trout are transported to our sea farms in the clean coastal waters of Denmark. Here they spend another 7-8 months until they have reached just the right condition for harvesting. Large well boats carefully transport them live to our own processing site in the town of Aarøsund, South Jutland.

 Grønsund Sea Farm is ASC certified (certificate - open pdf).

Aqua Production

Our processing plant, Aqua Production, has approval number DK4731. We process and pack our trout following our strict quality and food safety schemes, to ensure the highest product standards. We base our production on HACCP principles and are regularly controlled by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.

 Aqua Production is ASC certified (certificate - open pdf).

We harvest the majority of our trout in November and December each year.

Assortment of Danish farmed trout

Fresh trout
We can offer fresh trout to our worldwide customers in November and December each year. The sizes are 1-2 kg, 2-3 kg & 3-4 kg and are all packed in our own packing station DK4731.

Frozen trout
During processing, we send a large part of our trout for freezing and cold storage in Denmark. We produce both head-off and head-on frozen trout. We export frozen trout worldwide. AquaPri has a close collaboration with the cold storage companies to ensure that they follow the same strict food safety and quality standards as AquaPri. It is of the highest importance to AquaPri that our valued customers can always trust that they get the highest product standard from AquaPri.

Trout fillets
Trout fillets can be produced to order. Filleting will take place in November and December where we have the majority of fresh trout ready for harvest. We can customize this product and cut and pack it exactly as you require.
