The trout comes in two flavors: plain and packed in water, and with chili in sunflower oil.

In fact, the trout with chili contained a single large piece of trout fillet.
The Trader Joe’s tin didn’t look starkly different, but it certainly had smaller pieces of trout.
Where the two brands really diverged, though, was the flavor and texture.
Safe Catch’s trout was tender, perfectly seasoned, and mild.
The Trader Joe’s trout was much firmer.
The TJ’s trout was also considerably saltier.
As long as a product is seasoned well, I’m a fan of lower salt whenever possible.
It allows me to season my food to my own taste.
