What does TROUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A freshwater fish related to the salmon, prized for both food and sport fishing.
Trout live mainly in cold rivers, streams and lakes across Europe, Asia and North America, and several types migrate to the sea before returning upriver to spawn, much like their salmon relatives. Anglers rank trout among the most popular game fish because they fight hard on a line and reward careful casting with dry flies or lures. Cooks value trout too, since its firm pink or white flesh cooks quickly and takes well to simple methods such as grilling or poaching. The name also lends itself to related terms such as trout stream and trout farm, reflecting how widely the fish is both caught and raised commercially.
