Trout

Yesterday I caught a few trout from the lake down the road.
I’m a salt water guy so it's been years since I caught trout.
I was happily surprised when I found out that they were red meat trout and very easy to de-bone.
I just slid my fillet knife under the bones and they were easily removed.

I ended up doing a hybrid smoke/bbq because I didn’t have much time for a real brine.
The heat source was just a smoke tube filled with hickory pellets and a few thin chunks of apple.
The temp stayed 135-165 and the cook took just over 2-1/2 hours.
I did a cube of cream cheese too.

I knew that I lacked a real brine so my plan B was a few pieces pan fried.
The low & slow turned out ok, I mean it was good and all that, but that fried fish was something else.



Here is a few pics.

WOW Andy. I've had zero luck slow & go fish, but they look awfully good in the photo. I do like fried trout / salmon, skin on as in my opinion, trout/salmon skin is the bacon of the sea, when fillet and fried. Using the smoke tube as a heat source is good thinkin'
 
The lake is just bit down the road, they are easy enough catch and there is no cost for anything other than my fishing license so I will be cooking more of these.
They fillet really easy for being trout.
By the time I was done I learned that doing the top back (spine area) cuts first and then doing the sides with a little help from some tweezers was the way to go.
Having no bones to deal with elevated this cook up a level as far as I’m concerned.
Having fresh fish made this meal.
Chuck we ate the skin like it was candy.
 
Andy... Cutthroat Trout ?
And if so, Yes, they are delicious. Although the last time I had some was after less than an hour after catching them in Yellowstone Lake (back in the 60s)
 
I think these were rainbows Bob.
Fresh fish is awesome huh?
I used to pan fry small salmon when they were 5 minutes outa water when I did commercial fishing.
They tasted like steak but only better.
Butter in a pan with a squirt of lemon and boo ya.
