To me, all trout are nasty regardless of where you catch them. This includes steelhead. They are strictly a sport fish to me. If one doesn’t look like it will survive, I’ll keep it and freeze it for crab bait. The only salmon I really like are chinook (but not tules). I can tolerate coho and sockeye if they’re smoked. Rockfish, lingcod, small halibut, and walleyes are my favorite.
