 Not as good as walleye on the table but definitely edible. Colorado social distancing!

Congrats on your CO social distancing! If they have been in the river a long time, trout are fine table fare. Stocker trout are a taste challenge at times.

Had some last night (fresh) and they were as good as the salmon I paid $32.00 at Mt. Princeton Resort Saturday evening for our 40th anniversary. These had orange flesh so they had been in the wild for a while. I like them canned and make fish patties or trout salad sandwiches.

Great bag of trout.  Nice size also.

I’d be throwing those beauties in the smoker...or fillet, skin, seasoned flour and sauté in butter.

Orange to red flesh are worth eating.

Clean and grease your outdoor grill. Sprinkle, generously, your flesh side with 1/2 lemon pepper and 1/2 seasoned salt. Grill over medium low heat until the flesh thinks about separating. Enjoy.

Alternative #1: Season the same way and put under under the broiler until the meat is the same, almost separating, done.

Alternative #2: Heat a non stick pan to medium low. Drop in a large knob of butter. When the butter melts and the large bubbles begin to subside, add the fish skin side down. Spoon the butter up over the flesh as the fillet cooks. Throw in tarragon or thyme, plus salt and pepper. Just before you serve, squeeze a big squirt of lemon over the fish.

Another way is to grill the fillets, leaving the skin and scales on, skin side down on grate. Slop some BBQ sauce on top and cook on low heat for 30-45 minutes (depending upon  the thickness). I Cook salmon this way, shown to me by my uncle who lives in Alaska. Unbelievably Good!
