We served with trucha a la piedra alongside espinaca and trinxat for a glorious Andorran meal. Trout is found in the crystal clear rivers in the tiny nation of Andorra. The fishing season in the high mountains is between mid-March to mid-November. You can find the native brown trout, as well as rainbow and brook trout. Andorrans also love to catch them on a fly. I would love to go fishing in Andorra, how about you?
