Trout. For dinner ?

[12ring]

Blue River, OK. Kids (especially E) had a ball ! Now I gotta get him some waders, lol.

I've got 14 skinned whole. Batter & fry like whole Catfish? Some pretty big (18" when head was on).

And 6 skin on, whole. All perty big. Wrap in foil whole & grill ? Split in 1/2 & grill ?

I've never cooked one.

Gotta figger it out though cause they want to go back !

Otherwise Boaris'll gettem. 🤣

I've seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper and sauteed in a cast iron skillet with butter. Turned out pretty good.

Blackened.

I vote for the two aforementioned recommendations. Trout prepared anyway is my favorite fish to eat.

Been catching the released trout around central Texas. Grilled is my favorite was to cook them.

You can have al the trout you want, not a fan. Too many bones and fishy fish taste, yes I've had good fresh water shrimp fed trout too.
A little lemon pepper then put them on a willow grill over an open fire, or stick them length wise on a willow stick and grill over a fire.


Glad the kids enjoyed it though, nice pics !!

I prefer to leave the head on and gut, wrap in foil and cook that way. I suggest making a slit around the back of the head and from the anus to the tail along the spine so that after its done cooking you can pull the head, spine, rib bones all in one go.

They don't need much other than a little butter, lemon, garlic, dill, salt and pepper

Lemon,butter,pepper on their back in foil !

There's a recipe in Chef Jeff Blank's cookbook called Hot 'n Crunchy Trout. It's a little involved but it's the best damm trout I've ever eaten.

If you search online, I bet you can find it. Beware of cheap knock offs, however. The real Hot 'n Crunchy Trout recipe will have two sauces with it...a jalapeño something sauce and a Mango Aioli. Don't forego either of them!

Your guests will be dazzled and you'll be thanking me later.

My favorite way to eat fresh trout is cooked over a camp fire in a cast iron skillet.

Scale the trout before gutting whether you’re eating the skin or not. If not, the tiny scales will come off during cooking and get into the meat. Rinse with cold water or in the stream/river you caught them in.

Gut the trout and cut off the fins. Now, akin to spatchcocking a chicken, cut down one side of the vertebrae and sever each rib bone right up against the spine all the way down the length of the fish. Now you can open the trout up like an unfolded book. If the trout are large, score the skin side, rub with real butter and Season with your choice of seasonings on both sides. Get your cast iron skillet hot over medium.-medium high heat. Add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and then throw in half a stick of real butter (Kerrygold is good), some fresh crushed garlic and maybe some chives. Put the trout in and cook 2-4 minutes per side (depending on size). As the trout is cooking baste the top side with the butter/olive oil/herbs.

Remove and eat before it gets cold👍

Nice trout!! What were they biting?

[BlessedVeteran0305]

Split the belly pull the head with intrails out leave the skin on. Mix some garlic butter and slice a lemon. Lay the individual trout in its own foil sheet pour the garlic butter in the belly and lay the lemon slice or slices inside. Close it up and lay it on a campfire until fall apart tender and enjoy. If you don't have garlic, butter or lemon. They are good like that by themselves or with a little Tony's or s&p IMO.
