TROUT from Loch Etive in Argyll was give a royal stamp of approval on Tuesday July 10 when the £3.1 million expansion of RR Spink and Sons facility in Arbroath was officially opened by the Princess Royal.
The company, which is part of Dawnfresh Seafoods, one of the UK’s largest processors of seafood, uses trout farmed on sites at Loch Etive and Loch Awe to deliver the highest quality of products for top bluechip retailers such as M&S and Sainsbury’s.
The 170-strong team in Arbroath still prepares every product by hand – from curing and smoking to slicing and finishing – producing around 170,000 packets of fish a week.
