I love em.

They are higher (like salmon and tuna) than most other fish in omega 3 fatty acids - which is really healthy - especially for your heart. As they get big(+ 30"), and old, they can have elevated levels of mercury or other environmental pollutants - the same for salmon and tuna.

I would put back the lakers that are predominantly white because they only eat fish and they are the ones that get HUGE.
If they have orange colored fins and inside of there mouth is orange then they have been eating shrimp and will have pink meat and taste great. They also don't live as long...something to do with them eating the shrimp.
I have had both and definetely prefer the orange meat.

Good luck!

Back on topic... at Granby...

I think the thin skinny white lakers are generally under nourished or strictly mysis feeders. I think the fish eating lakers are ussually the fatter ones that have converted from only mysis , to fish eaters, and they have orange meat.

Lakers that eat fish - at the lakes I have fished fish,,, have orange meat. Well mostly... when you get into the sub species,,, sicowets for instance, they always have white meat and they are very very fatty.

White meat lakers at Granby have been common, but it has improved the last year or two.

I maintain my position, lakers that don't transition well, from eating mysis(at Granby mind you) to eating, or catching fish, have white meat, because they are generally under nourished.

Lakers in general have orange meat - not pink, orange, not quite as orange as fistfullafish's Antero trout, but orange!
