The stores here in my part of Wisconsin have Steelhead. This recipe from my buddy Alan:

Steelhead Trout on the Big Green Egg
Soak a board for a few hours
Preheat Egg to 350. No plate setter.
Put a rub on the fish (only on one side) and let it sit about 1/2 hr.
Put the soaked board on the heat for 3 min. Then flip it and put the steelhead on - skin side down.
Shut lid and let cook for 20 min.

Bottom picture: Sauteed on the left, planked on the right, with sweet potatoes.

Good question and I'll take a look at the store later today. The Steelhead might be Canada fish farmed like most of the Walleye we get.

Fran and I thought the Steelhead was at least as good as Salmon. To add, I thought the planked fish was better but I used some apple smoke when I Egged it so it's an unfair advantage.
 
Wow, Buzz, that must have been one huge trout!

I've only seen trout about the size of the photo below, which is supposedly an "Eastern Brook Trout".

I had it once on top of a salad in New Mexico. The flesh was brown. Didn't care for it.

I like the looks of your friend's trout, though.

The Steelhead was farmed in Chile.

I need to get an electric smoker that will maintain 160 degrees. The Egg won't do that easily enough.
 
I saw some in our market recently - it was farmed as well and it was a HuGe! filet compared to salmon right along side.

the color was not near what the wild steelheads are - I passed. actually I pass on all not-still-frozen fish from our Giant.
 
My bud caught a 10 lb+ steelhead in the Kalama yesterday. He said I could have some and will get it tomorrow.

How does the rub work? I like to pan fry in canola oil.
