favorite ways to prepare trout?

[DIESELDAN]

Have some nice rainbows I caught and just wondering some of your favorite ways of preparing them?

Thanx DieselDan

a little lemon pepper on the outside and inside the cavity, two pads of butter, wrap it all up in a double foil pouch and put it on the grill for 6-7 minutes on each side on med heat. open the foil and enjoy. The skin should stick to the foil so once you eat one side of the trout, remove the bones and eat the other side.....

Boil (lemon slices, garlic, green onion, etc), then piece out and mix into mayo based cracker dip. Kind of a imitation crab salad format.

Pan fried, with the lid off. Keeping the lid off helps get the skin crispy.

i agree. but with butter. you probably forgot to metion it. it was good when my mother fried it way back when i was a kid in duluth with those fresh brookies and rainbows from the upper lester. salt, pepper, and rolled in flour. i do use like the other poster, lemon pepper, and then roll in flour inside and out and like you said fry in a pan in butter. golden brown like you said no lid. good luck.

Yep Reinhard, I forgot to mention the butter. It too reminds me of being a kid. My family is from Norway so when I was a kid, we would catch a bunch of small brown trout and prepare them this way. Sometimes put them on a piece of bread for an open face sandwich. I like the foil method, too. but with sliced carrots on the bottom and sprinkled with dillweed on top.

i was on another thread and looking at beutiful pictures of the guntflint trail. well this gentleman had 4 walleys in a cast iron pan frying the exact same way. he scalled them first of course. that is also the way we ate them when we first moved to mn. from germany as imigrants. 1957. brought back memories and had to let him know it. great times. good luck.

i like to stuff the cavity with butter, lemon, dill, garlic, and a little salt

then i wrap that up in foil and throw em on a hot grill with some corn on the cob

smoked is hard to beat as well

this one i will try also. how can you go wrong. with corn-yummy! i dont know it it's original but my saying is "my recepie is the best until the next one comes along". i do all the cooking at my house and i love compliments. good luck.
