Gillis Seafood

Gillis Seafood Serving Seafood Products to Food Service, Retail Outlets and Institutions throughout Atlantic Canada since 1946 Gillis Seafood Ltd.

was established in 1946 by Donald B. Gillis in the seaside town of North Sydney. With a pick-up truck, Donald began selling fish to local households and before long was peddling fresh and salted fish to small grocery store and restaurants throughout Cape Breton. With a family of 12, there was always someone to help out with the business. In 1988, son Jim moved back to Cape Breton to work with his

father. Since then Jim has taken the reins of the business and has been continuously expanding our area of service which includes Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. With the expansion it became necessary to move to a new modern facility in the North Sydney Industrial Park. With a supply-chain throughout Eastern Canada and the United States we are able to bring quality seafood products to our valued customers. These products include fresh, frozen, salted and smoked seafood, as well as live lobster, mussels, oysters, etc. Our sales associates would be happy to meet with you to discuss your seafood needs.

Easy Baked Steelhead Trout Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound steelhead trout
4 tablespoons butter
2 shallots , minced
2 garlic cloves , minced
2 tablespoons fresh dill , minced
salt , pepper
1 teaspoon of zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450 °F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil as the skin will stick to the pan.
In a small skillet or saucepan, melt the butter. Add the shallot and cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes, until the shallot softens.
Add the garlic and the lemon zest, cook for another minute. Cool slightly. Squeeze in half of the lemon juice.
Place the fish on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Spoon the butter sauce over the fish.
Sprinkle with half of the minced dill.
Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes. The best way to check for doneness is to use a fork to gently prick the fish, and if it flakes easily, it’s ready.
Use two spatulas to take the fish off the baking sheet in one piece, or cut it into sections for serving.
Squeeze the other half of the lemon juice over the fish and garnish with a little more fresh dill.
