    13 Trout Recipes To Make The Most of Your Fishing Season

    Published: Jul 22, 2020 · Modified: Jul 13, 2021 by The Peasant's Daughter · This post may contain affiliate links · Published under: Posted Under: Seafood, Wild Game

    Trout is my favourite species of freshwater fish to target. They are beautiful fish. They require pristine waters to thrive and they also taste amazing.

    Cousins to the salmon, trout are an incredibly healthy fish and a great source of Omega 3s. The flesh is bright pink and firm, holding up to numerous cooking methods.

    My secret fishing spot, a collection of remote lakes in Ontario that require a bit of hard work to find and navigate.

    I have a secret fishing spot in Ontario where I regularly pull out huge speckled trout specimens (or brooks as they are also called) so I always have a few fish in the freezer.
