Trout Tavern in Ano Poria

Trout tavern

One of the most interesting taverns of Central Macedonia are Trout in Ano Poria Kerkini, Serres. Nested on its slopes terms Beles (natural border between Greece and Bulgaria) Ano Poria and built amphitheatrically in the huge plane trees, are considered one of the most picturesque villages in Greece, as they enjoy the view of Lake Kerkini lying on their feet.

A little further out of the village and in plane tree forest that accompanies the river is the Trout tavern. The landscape is strongly reminiscent of the plane tree forest of Agios Nikolaos just outside the heroic city of Edessa.

In 1980 Dimitris Theodorakelis He decided to return with his family from Germany to his ancestral homes and to engage in trout farming. There was no more suitable place than Ano Poria with the gurgling waters. The task is difficult, as there was no previous experience. A pioneer throughout his life, he managed to operate the unit in 1981.

In the beginning there was no electricity and patent holder Dimitris made one its own hydroelectric station with a watermill of their own construction, all at a time when no individual was involved in renewable energy sources, and there was not even an institutional framework!

«The small family trout farm covers the needs of our tavern - which was built a little later - and is built on two levels with concrete tanks of different dimensions depending on the stages of development of the fish. Two sedimentation tanks help to retain sediment as the water comes from an open stream that descends from the Beles springs, traveling a maze of several kilometers, thus enriching it with oxygen and nutrients and making it ideal for breeding trout.", He tells us George Theodorakelis by the fireplace and under the photo of his forgiving father.

«The time it takes in our fish farm for the trout to reach 300g is about 16 months and the main component is the water temperature that ranges from 1 degree in winter to 17 in summer. It is commonplace that fish is good for our health. But we seem to ignore the true magnitude of the benefit as we refuse to include them in our weekly diet (in the Mediterranean diet they are recommended for consumption 2-3 times a week)».

The menu of the Trout tavern in Ano Poria is rich, with trout of the hour, meats and buffalo meats from the butcher-printing house “ButcherFrom Rodopolis, while there is no lack of pork and beef steaks, all in a magical landscape in the plane tree forest and the clear waters.

Η trout It is served as an appetizer, smoked together with potato salads, eggplant salad, batter and Florin peppers but also as a main dish such as: roasted trout, trout breaded (for little friends, cleaned of its bones) and trout plate.

Whether you go in winter, so you will perch in the tasteful stone winter room around the big fireplace, or the rest of the year on the beautiful terraces formed into small living rooms with large wooden tables under the thick shade of age-old plane trees, you will try delicacies selected from raw materials guaranteed in an environment of hospitable beauty of unique beauty.
