Tips:
Rainbow trout has a mild, nutty flavor and tender flesh.
Trout is high in Omega-3 oils which deter heart attacks.
When buying whole fish, look for bright clear eyes. The skin should be shiny and well-colored. When pressed, fresh fish should spring back.
Never store ungutted fish. Tightly wrap fresh fish and store into the coldest part of the refrigerator use within 2 days.
Double-wrapped, frozen fish can remain in freezer for 6 months.
Trout can be stuffed with crab meat, bacon and garlic or seasoned breading.
