Trout Prices in the United States from 2020 to 2025

Key Points

  • Research suggests trout prices in the US varied from 2020 to 2025, with estimates based on inflation adjustments.

  • It seems likely that food-size trout prices increased from about $1.97 per pound in 2020 to around $2.25 per pound in 2025, adjusted for fish and seafood inflation.

  • The evidence leans toward prices being influenced by general seafood market trends, with some uncertainty due to limited specific trout data.

Estimated Trout Prices

Based on available data, the approximate average price per pound for food-size trout (12 inches and longer) in the US from 2020 to 2025, adjusted for inflation, is as follows:


Methodology and Context

These prices are derived from the average price of food-size trout in 2020 ($1.97 per pound) and adjusted using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for fish and seafood, as specific annual trout price data for each year was not directly available. The inflation adjustments reflect general trends in the seafood market, providing a reasonable approximation.

Inflation Adjustment Calculations


These values were used to adjust the 2020 trout prices, assuming trout prices followed similar inflation trends as general fish and seafood.

To estimate trout prices for 2021 to 2025, the 2020 baseline prices were multiplied by the cumulative inflation factor derived from the USD Value ratios. For food-size trout starting at $1.97 per pound:
  • 2021: $1.97 × (21.08 / 20.00) = $2.08
  • 2022: $1.97 × (23.01 / 20.00) = $2.27
  • 2023: $1.97 × (23.08 / 20.00) = $2.27
  • 2024: $1.97 × (22.65 / 20.00) = $2.23
  • 2025: $1.97 × (22.82 / 20.00) = $2.25 (not final)
Similar calculations were performed for 6"-12" trout starting at $3.54, yielding:
  • 2021: $3.73
  • 2022: $4.07
  • 2023: $4.08
  • 2024: $4.01
  • 2025: $4.04
However, for simplicity and given the query's general nature, the report focuses on food-size trout prices, which are more commonly referenced in market analyses.

Contextual Factors

The trout market in the US is influenced by factors such as aquaculture production, export/import trends, and consumer demand for sustainable seafood. The AGMRC noted that in 2020, pandemic effects impacted the trout industry, with sales values and volumes decreasing, which could affect price stability. 

Conclusion

Given the available data, the estimated prices for food-size trout from 2020 to 2025 provide a reasonable approximation based on inflation trends. These estimates are:
  • 2020: $1.97
  • 2021: $2.08
  • 2022: $2.27
  • 2023: $2.27
  • 2024: $2.23
  • 2025: $2.25
This analysis leverages the best available data, acknowledging the uncertainty due to the lack of specific annual trout price reports and relying on general seafood inflation as a proxy.
