Only ever ate them pan fried when younger, heads and tails off with skins on. Didn't like them.

Recently had them filleted and deep fried right out of the water, pretty good. Buddy smokes them with apple wood with skin on and they are amazing.

Been told the skin is what gives them the fishy taste, idk

Fish for Steelhead every year and my friends like them smoked, can't stand them personally.
