Trout, Choosing Of

The female fish is considered the best. It may be known by its head being smaller and its body deeper than that of the male. When trout is fresh, the skin is most beautiful in appearance, silvery and golden tints intermingling, the eyes are bright, the gills red, and the body firm. The most delicate trout are those which weigh about a pound. The fish is in season from May to September.
