A DELICIOUS FINISH
What should you serve with it?
Wine or beer
Albariño or pale wheat beer
The trout’s delicate richness and herbs call for freshness rather than heavy oak. Albariño offers citrus and a saline edge; wheat beer is an easygoing grill choice.
ALCOHOL-FREE OPTION
Pear juice with lemon and fresh thyme.
A delicious alternative that lets the food take centre stage.
