Karmrakhayt

Karmrakhayt is a type of Armenian river trout with distinctive red dots. Commonly known as alabalagh trout, fish production of this type is also carried out in high-altitude artificial lakes, especially in the Mantash Reservoir located at the base of Mt.

Aragats, in the Shirak province. The cold and pure water of this reservoir makes for a perfect habitat for karmrakhyat. This Armenian fish can be fried, stuffed, or baked in lavash flatbread alongside seasonal vegetables and cheese.
