Ruby red trout is a rainbow trout with a diet high in crustaceans/food high in canthaxanthin or astaxanthin which naturally turn the fish pink/red. Ruby red is a thin flaky meat fish with a bit more flavor than your average rainbow trout and a mild nuttier flesh. Ruby Red Trout are grown in submersible cages or net pens in open waters of the Northern part of the Great Lakes, Ontario. These Rainbow Trout are fed an exclusive diet of specific nutrient filled pellets which control their diet and help their growth. These fish generally take 2-3 years under normal conditions to reach market size. The main benefit of the Northern Ontario Farm-Raised Trout is the natural nutrients from Georgian Bay, aids in the growth of fish. Once the live fish are netted, they are bled, filleted, and packed at 36 degrees, all within one hour.
