Striped Bass
The striped bass is the largest member of the sea bass family. They are silvery, shading to olive-green on the back and white on the belly, with seven or eight uninterrupted horizontal stripes on each side of the body. Striped bass have light-colored flesh with a delicate flavor and firm, large flakes. At Frugé we sell Texas farm-raised hybrid striped bass that is a cross between marine striped bass and freshwater white bass resulting in a fish with desirable characteristics of both species. The cold chain is maintained from the pond to the plate. Striped bass is a delicious homegrown addition to any menu.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
