I — The Genesis
Last Catch 2016: A Technology Beyond Time
The story of Last Catch 2016 began with the vision of Milovan Trišić. He spent years developing a proprietary sterilization process that has no equal — a method that preserves the delicate rainbow trout meat at the exact point where preservation turns into culinary perfection.
The company and its manufacturing were based in Belgrade. The fish came from Lake Zaovine — fed by the crystal-clear spring waters of the Tara-mountains. With the closure of River Fish DOO, this unique technology was lost. What remains is the legacy of a final batch of Last Catch 2016: 6,000 cans, sealed in 2016, maturing in silence ever since.

The Vision
Milovan Trišić begins his search for a method to refine freshwater fish. Since no existing process meets his standards, he develops his own technology — without compromise, without precedent.
2007
The Founding
River Fish DOO is brought to life in Belgrade. As the only producer in Serbia, the company applies this innovative technology to noble freshwater species, always under the strictest quality criteria.

III — The Maturation
Last Catch 2016: When Time Becomes Master
Comparable to a Grand Cru from Burgundy or a single malt from a sherry cask, Last Catch 2016 has been refined through undisturbed maturation. It is the transformation from an excellent fish to a culinary monument.

I
Intensified Umami
During the ten-year maturation of Last Catch 2016, amino acids develop into a flavor depth unreachable in fresh products — a process that gives world-class products like aged Parmesan their soul.
-
II
Perfected Texture
The tender meat of Last Catch 2016 has changed over the years. The protein structure has achieved a tenderness and elegance that could only arise through the decade of sealed transformation.
-
III
Harmonious Symbiosis
The cold-pressed sunflower oil has entered an inseparable, succulent bond with the fish over the years. This flavor unity corresponds to the highest Millésime concept standards and is unique in its balance.

V — The Ritual
The Ritual of Last Catch 2016
The Resting Phase
Remove your Last Catch 2016 from storage 30 minutes before enjoyment. Let the can reach room temperature so the oils and aromas can fully unfold.
The Opening
The can opens by hand. Pull the tab in a fluid, deliberate motion. The golden oil tells the story of the past decade. Let it drain gently — it is excellent for fine pastries or a vinaigrette.
The Enjoyment
Serve on the finest porcelain. Last Catch 2016 needs no further accompaniments. We recommend accompaniment by a mature Riesling or a Burgundy. Take your time. This is no mere meal — it is time travel.
