BoB, has the bottom fins got white outlines?
If so, it could be a chub, we catch them in the canal here.
If the meat is very pale, thats what it could be.
It's hard to tell from a photo, right enough.

Or it could be a mixed rainbow/sea trout.
Normally fresh from the sea, they are bars of silver, it's just the shape, and fin colour?

Do you know if you send it to Pitlochory (spelling?)
They can do a test, and even pay you, if you find an oddity.
It's a while since I was involved in the fishery world though.

I was speaking to someone today that said it was a sea trout, some come with this colouring now as if they had been in the river for months.
Is this just a genetic variant, as another said it was a brownie, well the flesh was pink as predicted by the first person.
Rainbows can also have pinkish flesh, so I suppose we are almost back at square one, but I have labelled it Sea trout and that is it.
It is in the deep freeze labelled as such.

Yes, they were swans.
Yes, the fish all get eaten, but may be in the deep freeze a while.
