Did you know that rainbow trout get their name from the beautiful colors that reflect off their skin? The rainbow trout’s coloration varies widely depending on their sex, their habitat and their maturity. Their colors on their backs range from olive green to brown, while some have even been shown to be dark blue. All rainbow trout have a pinkish band that runs the length of their middle, a silver underside that fades to pearl white, and small black spots on their back, fins and tail. Fun fact, rainbow trout are in the salmon family, making them a rich source of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Browse our trout recipe collection for ideas on cooking this delicious fish.
