Steelhead is readily available here in northern Indiana and
having smoked and grilled it I can vouch that it is very very
close to Salmon in flavor, texture, etc.

Once I learned the family lineage, I started making friends
with anyone who mentions that they fish the local rivers. In
fact, I made a new friend just 2 weeks ago because of this. I
offered my usual deal which is to smoke whatever he catches
for free if I can keep a small portion.
