What is Steelhead Trout?

You may otherwise know Steelhead Trout as Rainbow Trout. The FDA categorizes Steelhead Trout as a seafood substitute for Salmon. When compared side by side the Steelhead Trout resembles Salmon due to the same brilliant coral color. You can buy fresh steelhead trout from Sam’s Club if you have a membership there. At least the last time I checked in August 2024 they still had it in their fresh seafood section.  

The Fish That Resembles Salmon

If seeing steelhead trout for the first time you may even think you are looking at a piece of salmon. I know I sure did. Steelhead trout is a sea trout similar to a freshwater rainbow trout but steelhead trout is anadromous meaning it can live in both saltwater and fresh waters. Actually, anadromous by definition meaning is steelhead trout migrate from salt waters to freshwater to spawn.
