Salmon or Trout?

[JonZ]

OK nutrition folks.

I keep hearing about the unbelievable health benefits of salmon and Omega 3 fatty acids.

My pop fishes constantly, and we get more trout then we know what to do with. The question is: since trout are members of the salmonoid family do they contain healthy elevls of Omega 3? Anyone heard?

Danke

I found a quote concerning lake trout and posted it below. I didn't know that rainbow's have a smaller abount of Omega-3's?? Learn something everyday!


"But all fish are not created equal. Different species can have different quantities of omega-3s. Salmon, tuna, lake trout and anchovy have a high Omega-3 content (more than 1 gram per 3.5 ounces); while rainbow trout, halibut, bass and shark have a
medium Omega-3 content; catfish, cod, pike and sole have a lesser content. "

Lets go fishin!!
