This is nice! Its incredibly clean in both flavors and texture. Very moist flesh adorned with beautiful silvery skin. Not so much smoke so that it becomes jerky-like (you know that almost caramelized action that smoked tins get? This doesn’t approach that). It flakes into nice fleshy segments that have fully absorbed the oil that has a buttery character to it. It just needs a little extra oomph to kick it up a notch. Doing work to solidify trout as one of my favorite canned fish, though!

Wow. Beeeeeeeautiful single filet skin side up, quite impressive to see when you open the tin. The filet was small (3.2 oz tin) but it didn’t feel overwhelmingly tiny. A single word summing up the experience … “solid.” Softer texture than expected, flavor was somehow both milder yet also fishier than expected. I prefer heavy smoke in my tins and I’m not sure I picked up on much smoke here. It kind of disappeared when I added it to a cracker with a little Laughing Cow wedge on it.
Overall, I did enjoy this tin -especially the visual aspect- but it’s probably not something I’ll get frequently at this cost/size/flavor combination. Quality was definitely there, however, so I’ll be looking to explore other variety in the Cole’s product line.

I like these. It’s a perfect little fillet with beautiful skin and delicate, flaky mild flesh. It’s not a super heavy smoke that makes other tinned trout dry and salty (but often still good) — this feels more like a sous vide kind of thing that leaves the trout moist and delicate.

I was pleasantly surprised upon opening this tin to see a gorgeous skin-on filet of very lightly smoked, delicate, and moist rainbow trout. I’m a fan of smoked trout tins, mostly the drier and saltier versions, but this is a very nice change in texture and flavor that can be paired with scrambled eggs, fresh veggies, and more.

Not bad. Not as much flavor as I expected. The fish is flaky and basically melting in the oil, which is an enjoyable texture. Kind of reminds me more of a buttery fresh white fish baked in the oven vs. a smoked trout. On its own, the flavor leaves something to be desired. On bread with butter, lemon, salt, and some pickles or pickled red onions, it was very nice. We are used to eating Fangst’s smoked trout which is a lot more smokey and full of flavor. For a couple dollars more, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for this flavor. If you want something more mild, the Cole’s is nice & tastes fresh

I really enjoy this style of smoked trout. The skin is gorgeous and the flesh is flaky, mild, and moist. It’s a good protein to have on hand for pasta, salads, or just straight from the can.

A very well executed tin. I was surprised by the high price tag and relatively small tin, but I think it was still worth the money. The trout was not overly smoky, and the skin was on, which I appreciate. It was packed nicely into the tin, and the taste was incredible. Flaky and very buttery, with a more subtle smoke flavor. I had it over a bit of rice and fresh lemon, which helped give it some substance. Definitely would order again.
