trout come in many different skin colors and meat colors.

I can't tell by what you have said what the problem was. I
have seen trout at the market that has been poorly handled, looked
mushy and were virtually eyeless. Not something that you would want
to buy. 75% of all trout sold in the nation come from farms in Idaho
that are located adjacent to the Snake River. These are generally
Rainbow Trout with white meat. What kind of trout are you used to
buying or getting?
