Smoky Mountain Trout · Knoxville
Pan-seared mountain stream rainbow trout, the Appalachian foothills' freshwater catch served whole or as fillets with butter, lemon and Smoky Mountain herbs.
Rainbow and brook trout from the Great Smoky Mountains streams have anchored East Tennessee menus since the 1930s when the national park was established. Joseph Lenn at J.C. Holdway brought the dish into modern fine dining with foothills smoking techniques. The Plaid Apron and Blackberry Farm both run trout off the spring and summer menus.
