Karatzenis Smoked Fish

Nestled on the scenic eastern slopes of Mount Tomaros in the picturesque Prefecture of Ioannina, along the tranquil western banks of the Louros River in the charming village of Nea Mousiotitsa, lies a state-of-the-art trout aquaculture facility.

Since 1979, this family-run operation has been a hallmark of quality and tradition, proudly breeding its own trout fry, packaging, and delivering fresh, premium-quality fish. Specializing exclusively in Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the facility embodies a commitment to excellence and sustainability.

Adding a touch of artisanal craftsmanship, the facility also features a dedicated trout smoking workshop. Here, trout are naturally smoked to perfection using fragrant beechwood, creating a delicacy that combines tradition with exceptional flavor.
