THIS RECIPE FEATURES:

Smoked Trout Roe

This variation of our trout roe is cold-smoked in Pappy & Co. bourbon oak staves with apple and cherry wood chips, producing a craveable, smoky finish. The cold temperatures allow the natural smoke to slowly and safely infuse without overpowering the natural flavor of the roe. With savory tasting notes and a vibrant orange color, our smoked trout roe pairs beautifully with whiskey and your favorite chips and dip.
