What is the difference between salmon meat and rainbow trout meat? Can rainbow trout be eaten raw?

Salmon is a marine fish that can be used for sashimi.

Raw. Rainbow trout is a freshwater fish, because the fish looks very similar to salmon, plus it is cheap, it is used by many unscrupulous merchants to pass off as salmon, pay attention to rainbow trout.

It is not allowed to be eaten raw, there are parasites.

Risk! The following is a set of pictures of the difference between salmon meat and rainbow trout meat to teach you to distinguish and not be deceived!

Difference Between Salmon Meat and Rainbow Trout Meat:

1. You can see the texture and color of the fish.

Salmon has a good fat content, the color of the meat is orange-yellow, the white pattern is whiter, the lines are wider, and the edges of the lines are more blurred. Rainbow trout has less fat, but its red and white feel is more pronounced, with thinner white lines and harder edges.

2. You can also see the size and thickness.

The salmon is relatively large, and the fillets are thick and large. Rainbow trout is relatively small, and the fillet is much smaller, and the key is that the rainbow trout will not chew if it is thickly cut. The most important thing is to look at the fat layer, the fat of salmon is fat, which is visible to the naked eye.

3. Let's try the taste again.

Salmon cut thickly, the entrance is very full and firm, fish oil.

Rich, melts in the mouth, and is elastic when chewing. The cooked salmon meat is pink, very sweet in the mouth, tender and delicious. Rainbow trout are more chewy, but less fat and not fragrant enough.

After cooking, the rainbow trout is darker in color, and the meat is a little chai when eaten, but the taste is still very good.

Rainbow trout and salmon **, there is also a very big difference, domestic rainbow trout is about 30 yuan, salmon is hundreds of yuan a catty, businessmen see that it is profitable, and there are more people who naturally counterfeit. When you buy salmon, you can't be cheap, after all, authentic salmon ** is never good, if there is salmon under 50 yuan, you have to wonder whether it is a rainbow trout counterfeit.

Can rainbow trout meat be eaten raw?

In fact, it is necessary to consider the living environment of rainbow trout, if it is a wild freshwater fish, it is definitely not safe to eat, and the risk of parasites is relatively large. If it is farmed, the water quality is clean, and the freshwater fish with strict monitoring is not likely to be infected with parasites. But when you eat rainbow trout, you definitely don't know what the breeding environment is like, so it's best to eat it cooked.

Salmon is a marine fish and has a bright color, while rainbow trout is a freshwater fish and is lighter in color, in addition, salmon has more obvious fat streaks, but rainbow trout is not obvious, and the meat quality is not as good as salmon. Rainbow trout should not be eaten raw.

Salmon meat and rainbow trout meat. The taste is a completely different three-dimensional principle, and it is more suitable for eating sashimi. Rainbow trout meat is still best cooked and eaten better.

Salmon andRainbow troutThe differences are as follows:

1. Family and genus differences: As mentioned above, the categories of salmon and rainbow trout are not exactly the same. Specifically, salmon and rainbow trout belong to more than one genus, although they are both salmonidae.

Salmon is of the salmon genus and rainbow trout is of the Pacific salmon genus and are not identical, and they cannot be considered to be exactly the same species.

2. Head difference: From the point of view of appearance, a more obvious difference is reflected in the head. Salmon have a more pointed head shape, while rainbow trout have a more rounded head shape.

3. Difference in living environment: The living environment of salmon and rainbow trout is also different. Salmon have a special property of migratory nature, which means that they sometimes live in freshwater and sometimes in seawater, and their body structure allows them to adapt to both living environments.

Rainbow trout, on the other hand, live in freshwater.

No. Rainbow trout is a cold-water pond-culture fish of the family Pacific Salmonidae. Rainbow trout is an important cold-water fish widely farmed in the world.

Because the mature individual has a brownish-red longitudinal stripe along the lateral line, like a rainbow, it is named. Native to the northern part of North America and the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, it mainly lives in low-temperature freshwater, and has high water quality requirements for aquaculture waters. Rainbow trout is a food fish that has been migrated to several countries, but has become an invasive species in some areas.

Exterior features. Rainbow trout sexually mature individuals have a wide, bright red rainbow band of purplish-red and peach-red along the lateral line, which goes straight to the base of the caudal fin, and is particularly showy during the breeding period. Like a rainbow, hence the name.

The body of the fish is spindle-shaped, slightly flattened. It has a fat fin and a beautiful body color. There is a brownish-red longitudinal band on the side of the body, which resembles a rainbow.

The body shape is flattened laterally, the mouth is large, obliquely fissured, and the terminal position.

The snout is round and blunt, and the upper jaw has fine teeth. The dorsal fin is short at the base, and there is a small adipose fin after the dorsal fin. Pectoral fins are medium, slightly pointed at the end.

The pelvic fin is smaller, away from the anal fin. The scales are small and rounded. The dorsal and top of the head are blue-green, yellow-green, and brown, and the flanks and abdomen are silvery-white, white, and off-white.

The head, sides, dorsal body, and fins are irregularly dotted with small black spots.

No. Strictly speaking, rainbow trout is not salmon, red trout is a sedentary species that lives in freshwater and does not migrate across salinity, while salmon is a species or population that needs to migrate between sea and freshwater.

Rainbow trout mainly prefer to live in some clear water with low temperature, more dissolved oxygen, and more abundant flow, and rainbow trout is also a carnivorous fish. When they are young, they mainly eat zooplankton, benthic animals, and aquatic insects, and when they are adults, they mainly eat fish, crustaceans, shellfish, and terrestrial and aquatic insects, and sometimes they can also eat leaves and seeds of aquatic plants.

Rainbow trout feeding precautions.

Rainbow trout are very sensitive to feed, and the shape and size of the feed are very important for the fish to reject food. The size of the feed will not only affect the taste of the rainbow trout, but also have a certain impact on the digestion of the rainbow trout, so it is necessary to pay attention to the size of the fish at each stage when feeding the pellet feed and feed the appropriate feed.

If the fish is large and the feed is too small, it will make it difficult for the fish to eat and the feed will sink into the dripping. If the fish is small and the feed is large, it will not be conducive to the feeding of the fish and the feed will melt in the water, reducing the feeding utilization.

What is the relationship between the rainbow trout farmed in Qinghai and the salmon that people often eat?

The differences between salmon and rainbow trout are as follows:

1. Different species.

Salmon and rainbow trout are different fish species, salmon is a type of salmonid, while rainbow trout is a mixed species of salmonidae and salmoniformes.

2. The appearance is different.

Salmon have a typical red or orange color, while rainbow trout tend to have a pale cyan or gray color.

3. The origin is different.

Salmon is mainly found in the North Pacific and northern Atlantic Oceans, while rainbow trout are mainly found in freshwater rivers and lakes in North America and Europe.

4. The nutritional value is different.

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is also a high-quality protein**; Rainbow trout, on the other hand, have a higher fat content and a more delicious taste.

5. **Different.

Due to the long growth cycle of salmon and the limited production, it is relatively high; The imitation rainbow trout has a larger yield, and the production is relatively low.

1.Dental characteristics.

Salmon has no teeth on the upper and lower sides of the mouth, and only a few teeth in the middle of the mouth; Rainbow trout have jagged fangs on the upper and lower sides of their mouths. Salmon are slender like a submarine, while rainbow trout are wider in size and have a larger belly. Salmon scales are so small that they are difficult to see with the naked eye; Rainbow trout have larger scales.

2.The size of the fish.

Salmon can reach more than a meter in size and weigh about 5-20 kg each; Rainbow trout, on the other hand, are much smaller and generally weigh about kilograms. Adult rainbow trout individuals have a wide, vivid rainbow band of purplish-red and peach-colored along the lateral line, while salmon do not. Rainbow trout cannot be eaten raw, freshwater fish cannot be eaten raw, freshwater fish and shrimp usually cannot be eaten raw, they carry a variety of parasites in their bodies, and eating raw freshwater fish is more or less at risk of being infected with parasites.

3.Living grounds.

The "salmon" farmed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is rainbow trout, rainbow trout live in low-temperature freshwater for life, and the salmon we are talking about are all marine fish, so the rainbow trout farmed in freshwater must not be called "freshwater salmon" We often say that the raw food is Atlantic salmon, and the salmon that is often said is Atlantic salmon, also known as Norwegian salmon, and Pacific salmon is also salmon, whether it is Atlantic salmon or Pacific salmon are marine fish.

4.Meaty texture.

Salmon can effectively reduce cholesterol and blood lipids, and as a marine fish, the meat is very elastic, tender and delicious, and has a fresh taste of fish, which is loved by many people who love to eat raw fish. As a freshwater fish, rainbow trout does not have such a umami taste, the meat is harder, not so crispy, and because it is a freshwater fish, if it is wild, it is easy to have parasites, so rainbow trout cannot be eaten raw.

5.Exterior color.

Salmon has a lot of fat and some yellowish flesh, while rainbow trout has a reddish tinge. In addition, salmon has a more delicate flesh and looks smoother, while rainbow trout has a thicker fiber. If cut into slices of meat of the same thickness, rainbow trout meat will be more difficult to chew.

The difference between salmon and rainbow trout meat: first of all, **. Basically, the market price of the most expensive Norwegian salmon is 80-100 yuan, while the domestically farmed rainbow trout** is 30 yuan.

So if you buy sashimi and it is below 50, it's either rainbow trout or it's not fresh for a long time. In various Japanese restaurants or seafood buffets, I have encountered Norwegian salmon with 110 per capita, and Canadian salmon with 250 per capita, so it is necessary to distinguish in advance according to the netizen evaluation of Dianping.

Second, judge from the appearance. This is actually quite obvious, Norwegian salmon has a relatively higher fat content, the meat color is orange-yellow, and the white pattern on the surface is whiter; Canadian salmon, on the other hand, has relatively little fat, so the flesh is reddish and the white pattern on the surface is not obvious. Therefore, the salmon with orange flesh is Norwegian salmon.

As for the rainbow trout, I can only say that the level of counterfeiting of the Chinese people is invincible, and the current rainbow trout can be very similar to salmon. The first is the fat line (that is, the white line one by one), the Norwegian salmon has a wider line because it lives in the Atlantic Ocean and has a higher fat content, which is manifested by the wide white line and the edge of the line is more blurred. Rainbow trout have little fat, so the lines are thin and the edges are very hard, that is, the red and white are obvious.

The second is the thickness of the fillet, Norwegian salmon is generally cut into thick pieces (left and right), and the thickness is very thick. Rainbow trout, on the other hand, cannot be cut so thick due to its hard flesh, otherwise it will be difficult to bite. The third is the sheen of the surface of the meat, Norway salmon looks oily and shiny, which is faintly reflected in the light, while rainbow trout is dull.

Third, judge from the taste. At this point, it can only be said that it is up to you to decide whether you will consume this salmon next time. The high-quality salmon can be cut very thick, so the entrance is firm and full, the fish oil is plump and has the feeling of melting the mouth, because it is full of elasticity, so when chewing, there will be a feeling of meat constantly squeezing the teeth and mouth; Rainbow trout don't feel that way.

All in all, it is more likely that salmon sashimi that is cheap + reddish in color + sashimi thickness + fat texture is narrow and clear + has a dull meat surface is rainbow trout.

Volume

Salmon is more than 10 catties, and rainbow trout is about 6 catties.

Flesh color

Luster

Salmon flesh is faintly reflective in light, while rainbow trout meat is dull.

Thickness

Salmon generally uses a thick cut pattern, and rainbow trout has a hard flesh and a thick cut is not easy to chew.

Palate

Salmon meat is plump and soft in the mouth, while rainbow trout meat is tight and elastic without aroma.

The slices are different:Salmon is pink in color, clear in texture, and has thick and tender meat to eat; Rainbow trout, on the other hand, are white, cut into nearly transparent slices, and have a somewhat crispy flesh. In short, each has its own merits.

The fillets of rainbow trout have a crispy and tender feel and are rich in oil, making them smooth to eat. In the rainbow trout restaurant in Huairou, most of them are not particular about dipping sauces, generally ordinary soy sauce + bagged green mustard, and I feel that there is no fine dipping sauce in Japanese cuisine. Large-scale restaurants such as Lamor Mountain Resort are more particular.

Steamed rainbow trout method

Ingredients: 1 rainbow trout, green onion, ginger, a pinch of white wine or cooking wine, 1 tablespoon each of peanut oil and steamed fish soy sauce.

Production steps: It should be noted that the rainbow trout is first scaled and viscerated, washed, cut from the back of the fish, put it on a plate, sprinkled with the prepared green onion and ginger shreds, and drizzled with white wine; Then put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat for 10 minutes, after steaming, pour out the soup on the plate, clip out the green onion and ginger shreds, put in the new green onion and ginger shreds, and then pour hot oil and steamed fish soy sauce.

1. **Different.

Salmon is expensive, such as Norwegian salmon, the market price is between 80 and 100 yuan per catty.

The domestic rainbow trout, the market ** is about 30 yuan 1 catty.

Their ** varies greatly, so many merchants will use rainbow trout to impersonate in order to obtain higher profits.

2. Different varieties.

In fact, these two fish are completely different species and have nothing to do with each other. Salmon refers to Atlantic salmon, which is a saltwater fish, while rainbow trout is a freshwater fish, but the texture of the fish is very similar to that of salmon, so it is called freshwater salmon by some.

3. The meat quality is different.

The color of the salmon is bright, orange-red, the texture of the fat is clear, and the fat between the textures is wide, the diet is full, the fish oil is abundant, there is a melt-in-the-mouth feeling, full of elasticity, and the texture of the fish meat constantly squeezes the teeth and mouth when chewing. Under the light, the surface of the salmon is shiny and faintly reflective.

Rainbow trout, on the other hand, have a chewier texture and some earthy flavor, and the meat is not as delicious as authentic salmon. Rainbow trout have a dull surface under the light, and they are not reflective.

How to eat rainbow trout:

Rainbow trout is different from salmon is suitable for raw fish, rainbow trout is a kind of freshwater fish, the content of parasites in freshwater is much higher than the content of parasites in seawater, so fish are more likely to be parasitized, if you eat raw freshwater fish, the probability of infection with parasites is higher, and parasites will be inactivated in a high temperature environment, so rainbow trout is best cooked before eating.

Rainbow trout fillets are similar to salmon after they become fish, so you need to pay attention when buying, choose regular merchants to buy, and you can't eat raw rainbow trout fillets.
