Cooking Trout

[Alchase]

Butterfly them out, put them skin side down  on the BBQ or Grill, season with Johnney's, baste with melted butter, garlic and lemon.

Unfortunately, some trout, no matter how they are cooked will still taste like crap.  IMO planted trout make the butter taste bad....

When camping on a lake where they actually taste decent (Banks Lake), I like to filet, remove all the bones, and sautee in butter with onions to have with my eggs for breakfast.

cold river native cuts are the only trout I like to eat and that is right there in camp fried in butter in a cast iron skillet lightly coated with flour, salt, & pepper till the tail is crispy like a potato chip.

Or egg wash and cornmeal with salt and pepper then fry.

Egg wash and cornmeal...

I dont think you can go wrong with cooking rainbow trout, but the above mentioned pan fried is a great recipe. mix in some homemade tartar sauce (like a little mayo, relish, pepper, etc) and you've got a great meal.


just get real good at filleting them. the nicer you cut the meat the easier it is to cook well, imo.
