Everything you ever wanted to know about lake trout
I can't answer that for you, but I bet the Roost can. Thanks to LAbun1066 for sending me a photo of the best lake trout sign ever.
About this blog
Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research – never the subject, always the control.
He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.

I remember when that place first opened and I am certain the phrase "lake trout" was intended only as the (ambiguous) menu item it is. iow there have been lots of lake trout joints before The Roost.
That said.. what make a good (B'more) lake trout sandwich starts and ends with the bread.
It MUST be rye bread (but H&S is fine for this),with not too much mayo, fresh lettuce, thin sliced tomato and pepper; and for me personally... raw onion.
Next time on Reisterstown Road I'll drop in and try them again (it's been a while).

Oh, how I love fish!!!

Thanks for the tip. I'm a member of a small coterie of lake trout virgins who've been looking for the definitive example. The Roost it is.
LAbun1066 is a moniker one feels one can trust.

That was once a Burger Chef sign.

jl, if you hate the taste of fish but love the taste of fried, then lake trout is for you.

That reminds me of a funny Jim Gaffigan bit:
"I like fish, but only if it doesn't have a fishy taste"
"I got news for you buddy: you don't like fish!"
