Redfish
The redfish, also known as channel bass, red drum, spot tail bass, or simply reds, have a mild, sweet flavor. Redfish have a beautiful bloodline, nice firm flesh and large, moist flakes. Delicious cooked in any way, redfish make a great addition to any menu. At Fruge’s, we buy ours from a farm in Texas which guarantees that our fish have not been given any hormones, anitbiotics and contain no mercury. Water quality is monitored around the clock to maintain the healthy growing environment that produces a premium fish.

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.
