Trout recipes please.

Recommended Posts

I will try these out, thanks for the tips. I tried pulling the spine out on the smaller stocked trout, didn't work so great. I've never pulled one out of the mountain lakes which I assume would be a little easier since they're much bigger. For the most part the fish down here don't get much bigger and they don't survive through summer so maybe all parker trout will always be not that great.

Deep fry them have fish tacos. That simple. Lime,cabbage, and some good hot salsa.

 

So you eat them with the bones in?

Oh no. Fry them peel the skin and pick the bones. No way around the bones. Pretty simple to do. Always one bone here and there. Part of trout.

Ok so you first said deep fry, to me that means bread and deep fry. Do you fry and peel skin then deep fry? Or just fry in oil and peel the skin and debone and throw the meat right into the mix?

 

I might need to get a family pack of them bone clippers.

If the fish is big enough, You can just fillet them like a bass or crappie, gets rid of 90% of the bones. I leave the skin on

With smaller fish, Aka specials has an amazing approach. If you are doing the foil pack- steam method and can't pull the spine, cook longer. Just like slow cooking red meat, you have to break the connective tissues down. If the bones don't pull free, tissues have not been rendered. I used Cactusjack's honey and some red pepper flakes in place of the brown sugar in the brine and had amazing results with some Dolores River beauties earlier this fall. All I had was pecan for the smoker, but the leftovers I was hoping for were non-existent. Bones pulled as a whole skeleton after severing the head (I ate the tiny cheek meat).

Only way I eat trout these days is smoked, but they have to be red meat living off fresh water shrimp or snails. The ones that only eat bugs taste like mud.

I cannot stand the taste of trout or salmon, no matter how they are prepared. Give me a fish with firm, white meat such as crappie, largemouth bass, sea bass, halibut, etc. and I love it.

I like to butter a non stick foil- then wrap a trout or salmon stuffed with a slices of onion and lemon - that is covered generously with a Zesty Italian dressing inside and out-

 

cook 6-8 minutes a side -

 

 

no fishy - dirty - taste

 

deep fried halibut fish sticks - using crushed honey nut cherrios is my go to choice of favorites
