Default Earth tasting

Hi all,

I have for the second time taken home rainbow from still water for consumption and for the second time found them to be tasting of earth/soil etc. This is unfortunate and dissapointing. Is there anything that can be done to remove this unpleasant after taste!

Same happened when I ate my first trout. If you put the fish in a bowl of water with salt in, overnight that will sort it.

Nope, all stocked fish taste like sh1te now.

Amazingly, there were about 20 Asians meeting the boats at Rutland yesterday and buying everything we had

I'm sorry Chaps but I have to disagree. The Trout from Grafham are very tasty at the moment and the rutland ones aren't to bad either, we have one at least once a week.

I had the same problem. The advice given to me was to bleed the fish. After dispatch cut through one of the gill rakers and the blood will pump out for a few minutes. Since doing this my trout have tasted a lot better.
