Trout

Anglo-Saxon family name

Trout are freshwater fish prized by anglers and diners alike, related to salmon but typically smaller and found in cold streams and lakes.

The flesh ranges from white to pink depending on diet.

Rainbow trout and brown trout are common varieties.

In older British slang, old trout is a dismissive term for an annoying older woman.
