14 May 2021 Day 5 of Movement Control Order 3.0
Trout has often been dismissed as lower grade compared to salmon and should only be considered when you can't get your hands on the other highly-sought after oily fish. But this is not true.
Norwegian fjord trout is smaller than salmon so it has shorter fibres in its meat, resulting in a firmer flesh. The Japanese, particularly, favour the trout because of its stronger red colour. A notable difference between these two similar fishes is that trout is a freshwater fish while salmon is a saltwater fish. So trout is generally found in rivers, lakes and streams.
Both possess high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower overall cholesterol and reduce inflammation throughout the body. A comparison of a 100-gram serving of both fishes reveals : salmon contains 150 calories compared to 120 calories in trout, there's 22 grams of protein in salmon while trout has 2 grams less, and 3 grams of saturated fat is found in salmon while trout has 2 grams. Salmon has higher levels of vitamin D while trout has higher concentrations of B vitamins.
For us, we love both. We just grab what's available and especially which looks fresher.
