Firm, moist white flesh with a mild, buttery flavor; moderate fat and large, clean flakes. Extremely versatile — excellent grilled, smoked, raw as sashimi, or used in ceviche.
Species Overview
Brook Trout
The brook trout is actually a char, native to cold, clean streams of eastern North America. Its olive-green body with distinctive worm-like markings (vermiculations) and red spots with blue halos make it one of the most beautiful freshwater fish.
Cobia
The cobia is a powerful pelagic fish that often follows large rays, sharks, and turtles. Its flattened head and elongated body resemble a shark. Excellent table fare with firm, white flesh, it is increasingly farmed in aquaculture.
