Steelhead Trout, is a variety of Rainbow Trout. It is so much like salmon in color, taste, and texture that it would be hard to differentiate between the two.

The similarities go even deeper.

• Both fish behave identically in the wild swimming up rivers to spawn. Once developed, they return to the open ocean.

• Both fish eat the same diet, including large amounts of krill. This krill diet is what gives both fish the distinctive pink color we're all accustomed to. You like salmon. You're sure of this. So why would we consider adding Steelhead Trout to our menu?

• Salmon supplies are getting low. Cost are getting high. World salmon supplies through 2010 are going to be extremely tight due to crop shortages in Chile (where most farmed salmon sold in the U.S. comes from). This means you're likely to see the price of salmon increase rapidly in supermarkets and restaurants. Steelhead Trout should save you some dough.

• Pink is the new Green. Rainbow Trout varieties, which includes Steelhead Trout, are on the "Best Choices" list of the Monterrey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch List which monitors world fish populations for over-fishing.
