West Wales Coracle Caught Sewin | Local Trout From North West Wales, United Kingdom | TasteAtlas

West Wales coracle caught sewin

West Wales sewin is unique for its traditional method of catching the Salmo Trutta species with coracles, small handmade vessels shaped like baskets. The sewin is silver with black spots above and below the lateral line. Their flesh is firm to the touch, light pale pink in color, fresh smelling, and their texture is dense, with lots of muscle protein and beneficial oils.


Their meat is of such great muscle quality because they are caught as soon as they enter the river from the sea, so that they do not get accustomed to the inactive river environment. Once cooked, the taste is distinctively buttery and nutty.
