Put all vegetables in a medium bowl, and drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a sprinkle of kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Using your BBQ on medium heat, give vegetables a quick grill mark on both sides, let cool, and slice to desired size.
Spread a generous amount of herb and garlic cream cheese over the flatbread. Sprinkle a handful of mozzarella over the cream cheese. Liberally sprinkle grilled vegetables over pizza. Add sliced Milford Bay Smoked Trout. Top with feta, goat cheese, and any remaining mozzarella cheese. (Amounts will vary according to each person’s preference.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees or BBQ to medium heat. Place Smoked Trout pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or directly on the grill of the BBQ. Bake until cheeses start to brown or until the bottom starts to brown, usually about 15 minutes.
Drizzle the Crème fraiche over pizza or use on the side for a dipping sauce. Serves 2-4. Enjoy with your favorite beverage….

Here’s a Milford Bay Trout Farm take on the classic Italian linguine. It works as an appetizer for six or a main course for three… Delizioso!
Dressing:
Linguine:
For the dressing, just combine the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well.
For the linguine, remove the skin from the smoked trout and discard it. Break the trout into large chunks and place them in a medium bowl. Add the spinach, onions, and ½ cup of chervil. Add half the dressing and toss to combine.
Cook the linguine in boiling, salted water until it’s al dente. Drain it and toss the pasta with the remaining dressing. Top each plate with the smoked trout mixture and garnish the whole thing with a little extra chervil. Enjoy!
