Of what I recall, fresh water fish tastes earthy, we used to lace them with a sauce of some kind.
Then there’s the fine bones to contend with too.
I’ve never tried a chalk stream fish though.. I wonder if there better?

trout tastes nice- i just prefer freshwater to sea fishing for the relaxation factor e.g i find a babbling river nicer than the oily tyne and i can just put my rod down by a nice trout stream in the woods and chill out rather than worry about is my gear gonna get washed away am i going to snag my lure is someone gonna nick my rod

Chalk stream fish are lovely esp grayling earthy fish just need soaking in salty water brine for 24 hours of 48 iff large this removes all earthyness combined with hot curry it's like sea fish.

Trout tastes great in June after its eaten mayflies all may I personally believe it's meat is highest quality at this time .Winter trout are skinny n horrible lol

I take it you mean to gut & par the fish first, as I’m sure osmosis
comes into effect?
Which leads me onto another question.. salmon live in the sea & in fresh water, how’s that work?

Obviously you gut them first , a salmon tastes good fresh run but taste bad far upriver why ? I don't know. Feshwater just had that effect unless it's deep clear lake or stream , brine reverses this effect try it out.
