Americans eat trout of all colors and sizes, and they are some of the most popular U.S. game fish, enjoyed by small stream fly fishermen to deep water trophy fishermen. Trout are mild in flavor, especially the larger lake trout, which can also be somewhat soft in texture. Mountain stream-caught trout are best cooked right away over a campfire. Finished with a squeeze of lemon or lime and a chunk of butter, they are a fitting end to a great day on the water. Don’t waste the tasty flesh by filleting small trout before cooking. After they are cooked, the skeleton can be easily removed and discarded, leaving the cooked fillets on the plate. Larger trout can be stuffed with vegetables, butter, and citrus fruits before securing with string or skewers and roasted, grilled, or baked. As with any fish, drizzling fresh lemon juice over the cooked fish right before serving will make the fish come deliciously alive.
Over 70 percent of the salmon consumed in the United States is farmed, but that’s not necessarily bad news. Our oceans cannot support the demand for seafood, so farmed fish is a big part of the future. Wild-caught salmon are firmer and denser in flavor than farmed, but some populations along the West Coast haven’t been sustainable, so regulating agencies have had to restrict harvesting of wild fish. When shopping for salmon at the market, find out where the fish is from. In the U.S., fish markets must label their catch with their “Country of Origin.” Not all fish farms are the same. Do some research and find out where the best salmon are responsibly raised. Salmon that is just-cooked will be moist and flavorful. Overcooked salmon will be more fishy and dry.
