[srfishin15]

Caught a brook trout last sunday finally and now im trying to decide how to prepare it, any suggestions? Preferably simple suggestions. Thanks

I never did anything too fancy with trout, but everyone sure loves it.

I just gut 'em and cook 'em whole with the skin. First I squeeze some lemon in the cavity and let it sit about 10 mins. Then add a couple pats of real butter in cavity, a good amount of salt, and a little fresh ground pepper all in the cavity. Fry in a little butter in a frying pan and peel meat out of skin- delicious!!

i do that same exact thing, but sometimes i put dill in there too, and wrap in foil and do it on the grill

can't go wrong with the butter/onions/dill/whatever in the cavity, and fry/grill

Do you skin the trout? I've always cooked the smaller trout with skin on

[srfishin15]

I was going to just broil it but now I'm definitely going to have to fry it.

Thanks for the ideas!

[reinhard1]

i leave my trout whole with the skin on. good luck.
