Costco's fresh steelhead fillet is farm-raised and sold by the pound, offering a premium seafood option available in the fresh meat and seafood department. Steelhead is closely related to rainbow trout and shares many qualities with Atlantic salmon, including a rich, mild flavor and firm, pinkish-orange flesh.

The fillets are boneless with the skin on, making them easy to portion and prepare. They are fresh and never frozen, though they can be cut into individual portions and frozen at home for later use. Each piece typically weighs around 2 lbs. Farm-raised steelhead is a rich source of lean protein, healthy fats, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health and reduce inflammation.

These fillets are versatile for cooking and work well on the barbecue (skin-side down directly on the grill), baked in the oven, or pan-seared. Season simply with garlic, lemon pepper, or butter-based seasonings for best results.
