Rainbow trout packed in extra virgin olive oil with chilli. The trout fillet is flavourful and has a buttery texture, and a mild chilli kick.
Serving tip: the soft texture makes this ideal for smashing on toast, and enjoying with crunchy diced cucumber and slices of shallot.
About the fish: the rainbow trout is farmed close to the cannery and hand filleted whilst fresh by skilled artisans.
About the cannery: they are canned in Latvia by the artisans at Diplomats, a renowned tinned fish brand, with a history dating back to 1907. The fish is canned using 100% artisanal methods in its state of the art cannery in the seaside village of Engure, on the shore of the Gulf of Riga. Diplomats is noted for its high quality smoked sprats and has built its reputation upon them. Its signature is taking traditional Latvian cuisine - smoked sprats, salmon, trout and herring - and introducing elements from international cuisine to give their recipes a novel spin.
