Hi all!

We went fishing this weekend and came up with some rainbow trout -- I'm not
quite sure what to do with them. I panfried a couple of them normally,
with breadcrumbs as a coating-but the flavour just wasn't too great. Does
anyone have any really good recipes for this trout?

Much appreciated!

Wrap them in a slice of bacon, insert lemon wedges in the cavity then
fling 'em on the bbq. When the bacon is done, the trout are ready to
eat.

Place on sheet of greased aluminium foil, top with chopped fresh
herbs, parsley and thyme are good, or what ever you might have,
squeeze lemon juice over, lots of freshly ground pepper. Seal in
foil, place in hot oven about 200deg C for about 25 minutes, depends
on size of fish and your oven temp.

Hot-smoke them. Get some coals going over on one side of your grill,
keep adding sticks of apple, oak, cherry, or hickory until you have a
big pile of slow-burnin sticks. Lay out the trout on the cool side and
cover the grill. Keep a vent open to keep the fire lit. I think they'd
be opaque and ready in about 30 minutes.

We skin our trout, place it on tin foil, squeeze lemon juice
over it and a pat of butter. Wrap the fish into a bundle
(Boy Scouts call this a hobo pack) and place it in the camp fire
coals for about 15 to 20 minutes. Butter and lemon pepper
also work well. The cooking time varies so I check it after
ten minutes. You can also do this in your oven at home.

Reference: Sue Flesch, Nelson, New Zealand, post looks good.
We will certainly try that, thanks. Regards, Everett

Here is one:

Pan Fried Trout

2 lb trout; whole or fillets
1/2 cup cornmeal
3 tablespoon butter
1 single salt & pepper; to taste

Rinse the trout under cold running water. Pat dry. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess. When the butter is
melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet. Fry 4-5
minutes, then turn and fry 4-5 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown
and flaky. (Trout may be seasoned with garlic or onion powder before
frying, if desired.)

I enjoy stuffing a rainbow trout with whatever aromatic fresh greens are
to hand (e.g. parsley, coriander, tarragon, fennel, etc) some butter or
olive oil, wrap in some aluminium foil and throw on the barbecue - about
20 minutes depending on the heat.

For an asian-style variant, I throw in slivers of fresh ginger, finely
chopped chilli, fish sauce, spring onions and a couple of drops of
sesame oil.

Yes! The first thing to do is catch wild trout instead of farm-raised. The
difference is quite noticeable to me, at least. Farm-raised trout tend to be
overly fat and rather bland, IMHO.

However, the fresh-caught wild variety is best bled quickly (snip between the
chin and gills for quick bleeding, _after_, of course killing the fish).
Eviscerate, cleaning the entire large blood vessel along the spine.

Using breading, cornmeal or cornflakes plus a tablespoon of flour, coat the
fish inside and out. Stuff the body cavity with pre-cooked wild rice and
sliced ginger. (Add some fresh, thin-sliced Oregon White truffle if
available, see site below for source.) Fry at 350F in butter (counting
calories? use PAM). Cook until the fins are crisp/brittle, but be careful not
to overcook (thus the high heat). Garnish with additional Oregon White
truffles. Serve immediately.

For reasons not entirely clear to me, this is always better when just out of
the stream/river/lake. If you must wait, be sure to ice the fish ASAP.

P.S. I think it's even better for fresh wild Cutthroat trout.

We always take the trout and lightly salt and pepper it, add a smidge of
garlic, squeeze a bit of lemon juice, put a blob of butter on top of a
slice of lemon on top of the fish, wrap in foil.. toss on the grill..
delicious.

Except for the convenience of already having the grill in use or having no
other means of cooking at the time, please explain the benefit derived from
grilling trout if they're wrapped in foil.

BTW, when you say "always take the trout" should I assume you always catch/fish
your own? If not, what does *taking* have to do with anything, unless of
course what you mean by *taking* is, you steal them.... hmmm, stealhead trout!

Being new to this group I don't want to be out of place... but will risk it
anyway. I am an Oregonian and love trout fishing - Our family has fished
from boundary to boundary. This state is VERY protective of it's native
wild trout - especially cutthrout. Great eating aside, all wild trout of
every verity should be released in this state. We catch and release; and
catch and eat - but never a wild fish. Please check with fish & game in
whatever area you're fishing in and do what is needed to keep things
healthy. Personally, I like my trout best the humble old-fashioned way:
pan fried with cornmeal at breakfast!
