Trout opener article in the St Louis Post

[Seth]

Trout are one of the few fish I prefer either baked or made in to fish patties instead of fried. If I don't want to mess with the fish patties, I'll rub the fillets down with olive oil, season with lemon pepper or old bay and sprinkle on some parsley before I wrap in foil and bake in then oven. Sometimes I'll lay a piece of bacon on top of the fillet before I bake and then open up the foil and finish it off by broiling till the bacon is crisp.

You had to go there.  Throw away trout and eat the bacon.

Agreed.  If you're gonna open up a package of bacon then just eat bacon.

I like to roll the bacon in corn meal sometimes, I wonder how it'd be in batter.

I prefer the trout that have been in the sytem a while and have the orange hue to the flesh. They taste more like a "fish" than the fresh stockers with white flesh. Most of my friends and family prefer those bland white fleshed trout over those with the orange flesh. 

Seth I agree. When the trout have that orange flesh they taste great. Unfortunately the fish that I would catch that had that colored flesh were brown trout. I just don't eat browns anymore. So that would leave stocker rainbows and any possible holdovers in the parks or whire/red ribbon streams. Of course unless I was out west then it was invasive brook trout on the menu.

Didn't you see my previous post? We would catch our limits at the local lake in Columbia after Feb 1. If lived there now i would have eaten a couple of trout dinners already.

You ever have bacon dipped in chocolate.

This time of year I like to go down to crane creek and nail some biggins. A nice 18”er from there eats just like a salmon.

Yes. Its was okay. Maybe if it was better bacon or chocolate it may have been better.

I’ve had it with dark chocolate and it was great.
