Well, that beats me! I think I have had trout perhaps 3 times and all were either store bought or farm raised. Maybe someday.
Well, anytime you catch something fresh from a river or ocean, it will always be better than any other way. You just can’t go wrong.
I think it was a turning point for me personally. I remember fish sticks on Fridays, not just during Lent. I probably had not had fresh fish before that trip very often. Changed my perception of fish for the rest of my life.
I’m pretty picky about my fish now. Whenever I go to the Gulf, I try to eat fish every meal I’m allowed. That trip will happen in mid October this year, weather permitting.
