I started fishing when I was 4..I'm now 62 and could count on 1 hand the amount of river or loch fish that I have tried eating. I tried a brown trout years back.and never tried it again..rainbow 1 bit on a fork and it was horrible..was always told sea trout were the best so tried one and enjoyed it..the wife bought a bit of salmon from shop today and I tried it..really enjoyed it..by far best tasting fish I have had......
unfortunately 99.9% of that salmon you ate would be farmed , and most people just eat it and say yeah its great , do a bit of research into farmed fish and I doubt you would eat it again!!
its not a patch on wild salmon, but that's getting almost untouchable
I prefer sweet hill loch trout or sea trout from the sea , coated in seasoned flour and fried in butter in my opinion far superior
But there are many better tasting fish out there Having 20 odd years experience as a chef ive tried a many few most for me are from the sea , flatties like turbot, halibut and even the humble plaice ,
sea bass , John dory, superb
dorado/mahi mahi scores highly with me also
as does fresh grilled mackerel and crushed sea salt , and u can't beat a winter east coast cod rushed home and done in beer batter ,,
delicious
thinking of it two of the best tasting fish i have ever eaten were a big perch around 2.5lb that sadly died took home to cook for the dog and ate half my self beautifull white flesh only complaint was the bones
And top drawer was a roasted conger eel my dad caught out of little Hampton it was 47lb and tasted great with a mornay sauce , thick meaty white flakes
