Cool, just like flamingos

So other than "not the same", how would you compare the taste of salmon vs. trout? I remember the stuff I ate as a kid being OK, but have since decided/realized that mom was not the world's best cook. It's entirely possible I'd really like it if done well. I haven't particularly liked the salmon I've had as an adult. But the two or three times I've tried it were either at a buffet -- an environment not noted for great seafood -- or grilled by someone who might not have had that much experience with it. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

We get a lot of it in Seattle, and I just outright avoid the farmed stuff because it is so obviously inferior in flavor (not to mention having all kinds of toxins in it, and being horribly environmentally damaging) it's just not worth it to me. I couldn't give you a good recipe, but there are a ton out there. Hurt me if you must, but let the duckie go!

Salmon's strong flavor and oiliness makes it suitable for grilling and broiling combined with fairly strong seasonings and sauces, though you have to be careful or it'll get dry. Even poached it's quite strong in flavor. While definitely not bland, trout doesn't have that overbearing salmony flavor and is a more suitable fish for subtle and refined sauces and treatments. With a very long body cavity trout is a favorite for stuffing and has just enough flavor of it's own to complement mushrooms, sausage and other stuffings. I like salmon now and then but more as an accent than as a feature. Actually, I like salmon best raw, sliced thin and draped over a lump of seasoned rice.
