Pacific rockfish fillets
Pacific rockfish are the most commmon near-shore fish on North America’s west coast. There are more than 70 species of rockfish that live off the west coast. There are taste differences in the different varieties of rockfish, but all are firm and lean with a mild sweet flavor. The main difference between varieties are in its texture. Rockfish is so commonly sold in restaurants because of it’s nice flakiness, mild flavor, and versatility. It is delicious as a ceviche, as fish and chips, and our favorite…fish tacos. This fish is a great addition to any menu.
Thank you to everyone who attended the School of Fish II: Class of 2012.

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.
