Taste of BC Aquafarms Inc. is a land based aquafarm specializing in steelhead trout. Located in Nanaimo, British Columbia, the farm which has been in the family for decades, sells it's Ocean Wise recommended steelhead trout under the Little Cedar Falls brand.

Raising their fish in a closed land based system allows Taste of BC Aquafarms to raise their fish with very little risk of disease, thus avoiding the need to use chemical therapeutants, antibiotics, steroids or hormones. Using a recirculating aquaculture system also allows Taste of BC Aquafarms to produce their fish on land with very little adverse environmental impact. Waste from the aquafarm is collected and reused as fertilizer, with future plans in place to develop an aquaponics system to grow vegetables using waste nutrient from the farm. 

Like salmon, steelhead trout contains healthy fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. These fats contribute to its rich, oily texture and enhance the overall flavour. The fat content also makes it forgiving to cook, as it remains moist and flavourful even when cooked through.

Whether enjoyed simply grilled with a squeeze of lemon or prepared with elaborate sauces and accompaniments, its delicate taste and flaky texture make it a popular choice for seafood lovers seeking a delightful dining experience.
