FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between steelhead trout and salmon?
Steelhead is a rainbow trout that migrates to the ocean. It looks and tastes similar to salmon but is generally leaner and has a milder, sweeter flavor.
How long can I keep raw steelhead trout in the fridge?
It is best used within 1 to 2 days of purchase. If you cannot cook it by then, it should be frozen.
Can I eat steelhead trout skin?
Yes, the skin is edible and becomes deliciously crispy when pan-seared or grilled.
What is a good substitute for steelhead trout?
Salmon, Arctic char, or rainbow trout are the best substitutes due to their similar texture and oil content.
How do I know if the trout fillet is fresh?
Look for firm, moist flesh that springs back when touched. It should have a clean, mild scent and no 'fishy' odor.
Is steelhead trout high in mercury?
Steelhead trout is generally considered a low-mercury fish, making it a safe choice for most people, including pregnant women.
Should I remove the pin bones before cooking?
Yes, use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull out any small pin bones along the center of the fillet for a better eating experience.
What are the best cooking methods for steelhead?
Pan-searing, grilling, and roasting are excellent methods that highlight its delicate flavor and texture.
Is steelhead trout farmed or wild?
It can be both. Most steelhead found in grocery stores is sustainably farmed, but wild-caught varieties are available seasonally.
