About the dish

Truta de rio à Andorrana is a traditional dish featuring river trout, a common fish in the high mountain rivers of Andorra. The dish includes river trout seasoned with salt and pepper, floured, and fried in lard or olive oil. The key ingredient is fatty ham, which is fried separately and placed on top of the trout, adding a rich, flavorful touch. The trout is then drizzled with the cooking fat and served, often paired with Andorran wine. This simple and light dish is ideal for summer meals.
