Trout
Mild and slightly nutty with a delicate, flaky texture, less oily than salmon.
Lens analyzedTrout is a freshwater fish with tender, mild flesh, sold whole or as fillets, often with delicate skin that crisps well when pan-fried. Rainbow trout is the most common variety found in North American grocery stores.
Where it comes from
Trout fishing has a long history in freshwater rivers and lakes across North America and Europe, and farmed rainbow trout became widely available in grocery stores as aquaculture made a once wild-caught fish more consistently accessible.
Buying it
Look for trout with clear, bright eyes and firm, moist flesh if buying it whole, or fillets that look glossy rather than dull or dry.
Storing it
Refrigerate fresh trout on ice and cook within a day or two, or keep frozen trout solidly frozen until ready to thaw and cook.
Keeps about 2 days in the fridge.
