Was never a big fish eater as a kid, but as I have gotten older I like it more and more. So I go to the fish market and told the lady what I liked and she suggested the Ruby Red. All I can say is WOW is that a damn good eat. I used brown sugar bourbon seasoning and cooked it on a cedar plank on the charcoal grill. Probably the best fish meal I have had in years! |

Kroger makes a fantastic fish seasoning that I use on grilled salmon very regularly, at lest once a week. It is called Sweet and Spice Seafood Rub (this isn't the exact product, but it comes in these tins) http://www.privateselection.com/_kroger_privateselection/cache/file/E4AE10F3-C290-29B7-44736CD1D3FEE6FA_medium.jpg Sometimes life gets too busy and the cabinet is low on stash... Kroger has a ton of rubs that rival the snot-nosed ARFCOM pukes that think they're purists. Their Pork Rub is fucking fantastic. BUTT!!! I don't eat farm raised fish if I know about it. |

Pretty lil boogers though. |

All the wild or fingerling stocked trout I have caught and eaten have had a nice orange color to the flesh. They would have eaten mostly aquatic insects, maybe some minnows. I recall seeing or landlocked salmon caught in loch ness (on tv) and it had a vivid red flesh, they said frim eating mostly small freshwater shrimp or a type of krill. |

Trout is my favorite but there's too many bones and I can never get them out so I throw them back. I haven't kept a trout in 15 years or more. I've tried everything and always end up with bones in my food. Easier to get a nice salmon fillet at the fish counter. |

Dredge in cracker meal spiced with your personal favorite (I like tonys, everglades or SPG), pan fry in a good amount of butter in an iron skillet. Use a fork to seperate the meat from the bones at the head-end, once you get it started on both sides you can pull the entire spine and all the bones right out of the meat. Fry onions, taters and mushrooms in the leftover butter

I always plated it for girls who didn't fish, and they would find maybe a tiny rib bone or two. use a fork to flesh off one side, going spine to belly. then grab the head ( you DO cook them with head and tail, right) bend it up and pull the spine and attached ribs out, leaving a fillet from the bottom side. a little lemon juice and you're GTG. pan-size taste the best. |

Walleye is good, for a fw fish. Snakehead is very similar in taste and texture |

Every damn time for thousands of fish for 45 yrs. I have no idea what youre talking about. My filet skills are good too. But i leave too much meat behind. Eta Grouper is best Then crappie |
