What's the difference between rainbow trout and salmon

Texture of meat cooked is dry for salmon vs trout.
Maybe if you eat it raw with wasabi.

salmon fillets seem to be thicker, where as trout seems to be much thinner.

it's a different fish

like asking what is the difference between beef and bison

Hi,

The OP gets the down votes because he used RFD instead of Google. Like jackrabbitt00, no RFDer is going to type out a through explanation when it's already available on the internet.

I am just wondering what's the different between them? How to identify those differences?

The grocery store I visit sometimes only have labels in Asian characters, which makes hard to differentiate from one to the other.

Use Google Translate. Take a photo with your phone and the app will translate it.

Funny how we all have access to all this on our phones but its never used.

Some of us don't have data and (free and actually working) internet access may not be available at said supermarkets

You can pre download language packs and then use it offline.

Only works for text/ASCII input? I don't think mine work offline for voice recognition/translation and scanning/translation.

I just tested it. Turned on airplane mode and used the camera translate.
It worked just fine.

Tested it again for offline voice/conversation mode. This doesn't work offline.

I used it in when I was travelling in Japan with no data and it worked perfectly fine. So it's called download the language pack when you have access to wifi. It will work offline.

What a ridiculous comment, many things can be found via google then, why bother having a discussion forum? Just admit some ppl are just grumpy idiots w nothing constructive to add.

To many guys from Reddit on here. Next to Olive oil I think fish is the most fraudulent food item.

I always thought that the rainbow trout you see in the supermarkets is a freshwater fish vs salmon which is mainly a saltwater fish.

i love both trout and salmon. both very tasty but ya i would prefer salmon cus im used to eating it for much of my life.

I have no real preference. I like both trout and salmon for taste.

Isn't that determined by the size of the fish? LOL
I have caught a 8kg rainbow trout, made big fillets

It is difficult to tell by taste alone. Texture is slightly different (especially if either is farmed or wild) but again, unless you are a regular salmon or trout eater, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

I caught an 8 lb lake trout yesterday. I also had a costco salmon fillet in my fridge that I planned on cooking for dinner. So I cooked both of them with the same seasonings. The wife couldn't tell the difference at all, although she said she was grossed out by the trout because I dressed it and cooked it whole, rather than filleting it, but in a taste test she had no idea which was which.
