Why is our fish so special?
MòR Steelhead, literally.
MòR Size
Mòr is the Scottish Gaelic word for big or great, and that’s exactly what our trout are. This is the Steelhead species; the rainbow trout with a natural inclination to migrate to the sea, where it grows far bigger than a river rainbow and provides a chunky fillet with a clean taste and firm texture.
MòR Natural
Our fish thrive in their wild Atlantic environment. We rear with nature - mimicking a natural silty riverbed in the early months at our spring-fed hatchery, acclimatizing to the elements in our freshwater hill lochs, before transferring to sea. There, the islands of the Inner Hebrides protect the fish from harsher ocean swells, but the currents that race through the Cuan Sound and the Corryvreckan - the third largest whirlpool in the world - are extreme, and our fish quickly grow into athletes.
MòR Health
We have pioneered a low-impact, responsibly sourced and carefully tailored diet for our trout, so they achieve the optimum levels of Omega 3s; protein of the highest nutritional value.
