trout recipes

anybody got any good recipes for trout?

I was thinking about throwing them on the grill, but not sure how to go about it and what seasonings to use. i've made trout before and have not been very satisfied on how they turned out. Anyone got any really really good recipes?

thanks in advance

i usually take a couple peices of tinfoil and double them up and make a little boat shape, then spray some pam on it, lay the trout skin side down, some people leave the heads on but i dont, take the rib bones out, then spread butter generously over the fish and sprinkle lemmon pepper all over, pile all the charcoal on one side of the grill and place the trout on the other side so its not directly over the heat, cook till the meat turns white, then just peel the meat off the skin with a fork, its great this way and if you get all the rib bones out the butter will desolve the rest of them during the cooking

whats the best way to debone trout?

There are a ton of recipe's from the past several years for different preparations of trout. Use the search function to access a plethura of information.

As for the bones? I use a small needle nose pliers.

i just use a knife and cut the whole rib cage area out, you loose a little meat, but nothing will turn me off of eating trout that chewing on rib bones, its just a nasty feeling crunching between your teeth

Here's one I like to do for stream trout.

Trout & egg breakfast:

Clean enough trout to fill a large frying pan. I leave the heads and skin on - just remove the entrails and the gills and wash well. Mix up some eggs and milk as though you are making scrambled eggs. Dip trout in the egg mixture and roll in cracker crumbs. Fry in butter until almost done - then add the remainder of the egg mixture. Cover, and cook until egg is done. Makes a great breakfast!

The entire spine and ribcage will come out in one piece after the trout are cooked.

If you can , filet them...Trout over 13" are the best for this, the smaller ones it doesn't seem to work.

On a charcoal grill with the coals on the sides, we put alum foil down on the grill rack. Lightly spray with oil. Put the filets on the foil and grill.

If you want a smoked flavor- put wood chips on the coals and smoke them.

We don't use a lot of coals and it usually takes an hour and a half to cook. Reapply wood chips as needed. We use apple most of the time.

It is nice, very few/no bones and easy to eat.

Good luck.
