Hi, Ken, the fish are 'yamame', a Japanese trout. The English name is simlply "masu trout', and 'masu' is Japanese for trout'. They grow to about 25 cm, if they stay only in the river. However, like salmon, they grow very large if they go to the sea and return upstream later. Then they are called 'sakuramasu', which means 'cherry trout', because of their flesh which has changed to pink. The sakuramasu don't swim so high upstream, where I like to fish, as the yamame. Both are delicious, and I cook my yamame with salt, flour and lemon rubbed in, then saut?e them. Al the best, Peter
