earthy trout

[kingfisher 0]

a bloke at work is bringing in me a trout that he caught but he says they taste earthy which i assume means that they taste of dirt and was wandering if anyone knows of a way of stopping this

Plenty of seasoning?

It usually comes from the lake where the trout was caught had a muddy bottom.

Didnt realise you were in to fish Mack...............

 

Also you could try a smoker, hot or cold, tends to remove earthy tastes and puts a decent flavour in them. Normally shitty tasting fish come from stockies fed on an artificial diet, grown too fast, in still water.

As Mack says, It was on Hughs show saying the pink flesh and earthy flavour was the pellet feed and murky water. They had live fed fresh water fish and that flesh was paler and tasted much nicer (according to them). There's a couple of freshwater, live fed trout In the river by me. I keep meaning to get a couple to try If there as good as people say.

They are,grayling are good eating as well

Once I eventually get my new rod I should be able to take a few of the bigger ones No Greyling In this stretch though. There's a few In another bigger local river.
