trout

I just can’t stand em.  I like just about all other fish.  Never had talipia though.  Probably won’t ever eat that.    Blackened or fried Farmed cat is great!

Wouldn't you think that since hatchery trout are specifically raised to be caught, kept, and eaten, that they'd feed them something that didn't ruin the flavor of them?   

Not sure what they feed the ones raised at Troutdale but they are always delicious.

Step #1 is to catch them as far from a hatchery as possible.  Or buy them from a place that raises them specifically for tablefare.   

Troutdale ranch raises some absolutely delicious brookies and rainbows.

Brookies?

Yeah they raise premium brookies and rainbows and sell to fancy restaurants all over the country.  Occasionally they escape and end up on my kitchen table. 😋 

 

Look at the color of the meat on these rainbows....

Think that those "Far from the Hatchery" have been dining on a natural diet of invertebrates for awhile. Raceway trout are raised as cheaply as possible. The feed they use is liver based.

no mention of liver, probably the ill taste comes from soy and canola replacing fish oils in some formulations.

Reminds of how to cook diving ducks so they taste great. Clean them thoroughly, remove the skin, wrap in bacon, place on a cedar board. Smoke or grill for 15 minutes. Remove from the board and take off the bacon. Eat the bacon and cedar board and toss the duck.

That's my recipe!  I heard you on Ray Eye a couple weeks ago.  I was heading to the river and you were giving a Taney report.

When I was a kid, I read an article that had that same recipe for carp. I think I still have that stone tablet somewhere.

Bake the fillets or pan fry in light oil till the meat flakes. Mince the trout and use them in place of salmon and make fish patties. Simple and delicious.
