Best Way To Cook Trout

[Tony g]

does anyone know the best way to get that muddy/ fishy taste out of trout when you cook them? i catch a lot of trout but usually release them because of their fishy taste. if anyone knows a good way im willing to give er a try.

Toss them back when you catch them and go to the store and buy some Tilapia fillets.

Trout taste like trout, you can cook them many ways, but they will still be soft flesh. If you are used to firm flesh fish, you probably will not develop a taste for trout.

Just a note...I don't particularly like the fishy taste either, I've found that skinning the trout as soon as possible after catching them keeps the fishy taste down quite a bit!

I kept about 20 from last summer and fall, and ate about 3 of them. I just gave the remaining to some friends on Sunday in trade for some firewood (good trade). Trout, are ok if there's nothing else to eat and I'm camping and then I'm going to corn-meal them and fry them.

I think the best way I have found is to skin them, cut in half and put in a glass dish with a lot of butter and lemon pepper and bake them untill they are flakey. Also dosen't hurt to eat them with a lot of tarter sauce.

Okay, if you are in a trout park, keep all you want, they don't survive long in the wild there anyway.

Skin them and fillet them and fry in Cajun Fish Fry mix and they are pretty good.

Peel the head off and gut, spray with butter pam, lemon pepper inside and out, grill over charcoal.

Marinate in Italian dressing and grill or bake, filleted, skinned, or whole.

Skin out whole, take off head and fins, coat liberally with Cajun seasoning, blacken in hot skillet with butter, outside is best because of smoke. Peel off skin and eat.

Smoke on a smoker seasoned with lemon pepper, filleted, skinned whole, or skin on.

Gut and leave whole, coat with flour and spice to taste, fry in butter in skillet, peel off skin and eat.

Make trout almondine, good, but alot of trouble.

If you catch them anywhere else, toss them back, they taste like trout......

Sear them in butter in a frying pan. Remove trout from pan. In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, juice from 1 lemon, 1 heaping tablespoon dark brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon water. Pour mixture in pan and reduce it on high heat stirring constantly until it starts to thicken. Spoon mixture over trout. Serve with wild rice and veggies of choice. Dan-o

Haha the best way to cook them is to find a good piece of bark along the creek before you go home. Then lay the gutted trout out on the bark over a fire and season however you would like. Then wait until trout is thoroughly cooked and throw the trout away and eat the bark. I heard that one a long time ago and absolutely loved it.

Skin them and cook them like any other fish (corn meal, flour, egg, milk, hot oil) or skin them and smoke them.
