When you eat a few....how?

[loo10]

I like to occasionally take a few trout

under the slot length limit home to eat.

I love trout fixed alot of ways

but my wife is pretty neutral on them.

Anyone got any "Oh-my-gosh" terrific trout recipes to share?

In other words.......

how do you make them taste as good as crappie???

Thanks.

gut them and gill them right after you catch them...and pretty much cook them as soon as you can. fire up the grill. leave everything on them...ie. skin heads fins everything. lay em on the grill until you can grab the lower jaw and head and it starts to pull out of the skin....then flip them over and when the lower jaw falls off or the head falls off they are ready to be eaten. take them off the grill and pull the skin off....if you did it right, it should come off in a solid piece. you can them pull the head and back bone out with all the bones. also, pull the fins out and that will take care of the rest. good hot trout that doesnt taste fishy. as for seasonings go, lowery's season salt is a good choice and/or lemon pepper and butter.

Fillet them, cover in Andy's Fish Seasoning (1/2 Yellow and 1/2 Red seasoning mixes) and deep fry in peanut oil.

I gut, de-skin, and behead the little booger as soon as I'm finished fishing. Put them in a zip lock bag and in a cooler until they are stiff. Fillet them and then chunk up the fillets. Soak them in clean water until the water turns grey and oily. Repeat until the water stays clear. Dittos on the Andy's and into the fryer. You may have to navigate some bones, but depending on how well you fillet them, it shouldn't be that bad. Done right, they are as good as crappie. And that's saying something.

Fillet, melt butter in plate, lemon pepper/season salt in plate, fillets in plate dipped on both side, more pepper and salt, microwave for 3.5 minutes. Eat with saltines.

Clean and gill, spray with olive oil, lay on AL foil and sprinkle with seasoning of your choice, wrap in the foil and grill on a hot grill or bed of charcoal about 3 minutes and then 2.

I like Basil and Garlic on them.

Once again - Phil has the right idea. (he knows.. for sure..)

Microwaved trout are easy and quite tasty.. as a snack or a meal!

first you filet them and place them on a wooden plank, put in oven and cook to 500 degrees, after 15 minutes throw fish away and eat the plank

"How do make them taste like crappie?" Turn them loose and go catch some crappie!
