Both salmon and trout belong to the salmon family and are commonly consumed in Japan, especially during the fall season.
Salmon is a fish that prefers cold waters, and autumn salmon is well-known in Japan. Salmon is high in protein and low in calories, and is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for your health. In addition, salmon’s bright orange flesh is visually appetizing as well as tasty. It can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, including as sushi material, grilled, meuniere, and soup.
Trout, on the other hand, is a freshwater and saltwater fish, most notably rainbow trout. Trout is characterized by its tender flesh and light flavor, and is not as fatty as salmon, making it refreshing. It is suitable for various cooking methods such as sashimi, sushi, grilled, and smoked. Trout are widely farmed, and a stable supply is available.
Both salmon and trout are deeply rooted in Japanese food culture, and there are different traditional cooking methods depending on the region.
