Steelhead Trout
John O’s Steelhead Trout are raised in super low-density cages, swimming in the fast and fresh currents of Sheshegwaning First Nation. Sheshegwaning is an indigenous community on Manitoulin Island. The result is happier, healthier fish, and a more responsible choice.
Our open-water Steelhead Trout are a versatile option, with one of the lowest ecological footprints out of any source of animal protein. They are raised without chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs and rich in omega-3, natural fats and anti-oxidants.
Notes
Origin: Odawa Island Farms, Manitoulin Island
