rainbow trout
Spotted freshwater catch
Rainbow trout is a species of freshwater fish native to North American rivers and lakes, prized by anglers for its fighting spirit and by cooks for its delicate flavor.
The name comes from the iridescent pink stripe running along its side.
Rainbow trout raised in saltwater or migrating to the ocean are called steelhead.
