cracking fish man are you sure he did'nt get a whiff of your oxo and come in for a sup

A sea trouts mouth will extend past it's eye. They also have a slightly more blunt nose than a salmon and sea-trout have spots below the lateral line salmon don't.

I think you may have a salmon there. But I can't be sure going by the picture.

im 99% sure it's a trout the photo dont show it to clearly but there were lots of spots below AND above it's lateral lines so i think we will stick with a trout

Plus Salmon flesh is pink sea-trout flesh is pale

Wild salmon is pale aswell, they actually put die in the pellets they feed the farmed salmon to give it its pink colouration......apparently the "pink" colour is more consumer friendly

i dont know anything about the colour but all i can say is the only salmon i would eat is out of a tin prefrably red but i would have an odd bit of pink too.

Me thinks wild salmon are pink Dude… they get the colour from the food they eat while at sea ie prawns and the like,

The farmed mush are fed the pink dye to fool people into thinking they are buying wild fish… that’s what me thinks anyway


Well done John,

Nice trout man,

[shamoo0804]

I stand corrected on that one then.

Sure I had seen it on a documentary sometime ago......

.......maybe it was about trout

[dbrock]

Yeah definitely wild atlantic salmon are dark pink, maybe they dull abit when then enter the fresh water?

[anthony2carr]

No Salmon are pink, in fresh water as well.

I think it's from the food they eat.

But I also heard a theory that the more an animal moves the more red the flesh gets.

[saltydog]

Definately a Sea trout John the mouth of a Salmon is notably different

[marno]

Lovely fish. I like to see reports of sea-trout being caught

Was in Tesco today. Saw a Japaneese woman buying a "Salmon". I went up and informed her and the guy behind the counter that it wasn't a salmon. The guy behind the counter knew it wasn't. He never even argued with me.

what was it ?

Pork!
