Title: Deep fried trout
Post by: Blacklab on September 16, 2018, 01:53:20 PM: Thought I’d try something new and deep fry some trout. Prepped it just like I would pan frying, flour, salt pepper, and garlic. It was OK but not great. A little disappointed thought it would be much better than that. I know pan frying is king. Especially with cast-iron. ;)

Maybe smaller ones would be good.

Wild caught can be good but unless they are of size be careful not to over fry and dry them out. Example on a 12” trout maybe 1minute a side. My :twocents:

Post by: WSU on September 20, 2018, 09:40:08 AM: Fried salmon is really good. Pan fried or deep fried are both delicious. Wild trout is good too but I've never deep fried it. Pan fried can be really good.

For planted trout, the best way I've found is to stick them in a crab pot and turn them into crab or put them on a hook and feed them to a halibut. Both methods turn out great.

Yep!

Try egg and Kellogs Cornflake crumbs. This is my family go to breading. I also like Panko and instant mashed potatoes. Sometimes I will do combinations of the above.
