In this video, Randy puts salmon and rainbow trout head-to-head in a blind taste test, proving with receipts and real-world results that you might be overpaying for fish. He explains why rainbow trout, and its big brother steelhead, are often overlooked despite being the same species as some salmon varieties, offering incredible value and flavor. Learn the secrets of this versatile fish, how it compares to salmon in taste and price, and why it's a smarter choice for your dinner table. Randy breaks down the economics, the biology (Oncorhynchus mykiss!), and the simple cooking methods that make trout a winner - no special gadgets required, just a grill you already own and about twenty minutes. Randy Vogel smokes meat in an unheated Wisconsin garage. The channel is not about barbecue - it is about what barbecue costs you.
