What is the best trout to eat?

Wild brook trout, though I have no complaints about wild browns. Pinkish-orange flesh, mmmm. Cooked whole, with some extra heat right at the end for a good crispy skin.

I believe that the majority of trout fishermen would say the Brook trout is the best eating. I definitely agree with that sentiment, though all trout are generally delicious. I've eaten many hundreds of Rainbow and Brown trout too and enjoyed them both. read more

Best Answer: I am going to say, rainbow trout is your best option, it is full of vitamin b and is full of natural freshwater flavours kids normally like. They are very nice if roast or fry them in a pan, they are available all year round to catch. It is your most safest trout to eat by a fair bit. read more
