Culinary staff at this New England resort recently reached out to a New Hampshire trout farm to continue attempts at localizing their purchasing processes.
Marc Moran over at Hopewell Farms in Newbury says his business was proud to make its first delivery of live trout to the resort on June 1.
The Balsams staff used the opportunity to train culinary apprentices on the handling and processing of live fish.
Moran says at least some of trout in this shipment were taken to Washington, D.C. and presented as part of a “Taste of New Hampshire” presentation, and additional trade with the resort is considered likely.
Moran says Hopewell is also the first farm in New Hampshire to grow the tropical tilapia fish in a closed system for market. Normally tilapia is imported from abroad.
