I perfer any pan fish or walleye over trout anyday but really if you fillet trout and cook them with the skin off that takes care of a lot of the fishy taste. I can only eat them once or twice a year. I know guys he would curse the taste of trout up and down but had some how I prepare then and were very suprised with how they tasted. just like with anything you have to prepare them properly. I agree you are better off buying good fish at the store or local fish market.
