Trout lovers...provide me with your
 

...favorite way to prepare trout. I normally just fry it in meal...but I am open for other suggestions.

lemon, pepper, garlic salt, olive oil, wrap it in tin foil, throw it on the barbecue. I don't measure shit when i cook, so sorry if my recipe sucks for reuse...

Sounds good to me so I will give it a shot. I have grilled trout before using honey bar-b-q sauce.

This is pretty much it. Anyone who uses liquid smoke and doesn't just smoke it in a burnt out fridge is a commie pinko scumbag.

When I was a kid my buddy and I would walk this creek/river and fish for trout. We would stop and cook what we caught about half way there. We would just clean them and wrap them in tin foil with some seafood season salt and butter then throw them on the open flame. Tender, fresh and very yummy,

I actually did that for a long time before the family invested in a proper smoker. As long as you get yourself a good oldschool fridge without all the plastic inside, you're good to go. Grand dad makes amazing smoked trout and pickerel. I can mow through that stuff. I'm kind of a one trick pony and stick to doing different kinds of jerky myself. My old man has started getting into doing pepperoni and sausage this winter, so hopefully he gets things figured out well enough that I can pick some of that info up off him. What Id' really like to do is a build a solid smoke shack and figure out how to cure hams and bacon. mmmmmm, bacon....

I like using Cajun fish fry! Nice and spicy :)

Theres a pecan crusted trout recipe on the food network website thats out of this world but you'll have to look for it because I dont remember it off hand.

First you need to make sure that the trout didn't fake his own death.

All of the above recipe suggestions are great. I'll add one further just for variety -- it's called "Shore Lunch". It's a fish coating mix, I believe you can order it online but I buy it at one of the local supermarkets that carry it. The stuff is incredible on fish but can be used for pork, chicken, deer meat, elk, etc. When I use it it's mainly on fish filets though.

I highly recommend you give it a try.

"Cook it in an old refrigerator" You fuckers from West Virginia crack me up. lol

Jesus
 

Fuckin heathens...

You cook trout with almonds.

Another very good suggestion, but FAIL for failing to provide the recipe.

I will look into it CD.

Sorry, all this talk of cooking with a refrigerator, kinda had me a little concerned as to the general IQ of the majority of the respondents to this topic.

I caught my fair share of Salmon this last season so I bought a smoker and smoked some Salmon...but I have never eaten smoked Trout and I do not intend to smoke any Trout...as I find that Trout is far more tastier than Salmon.

I caught a couple of Steelhead this year...and Steelhead's are Trout.

There many different ways such as baked trout, grilled trout, fried trout and microwaved trout. I found a site with more details:

I grew up when rainbow were plentiful and would never end.

I miss those days.

not cooking, smoking the meat. I love when "open-minded" citytards can't see passed the end of their own nose. converting a refrigerator to a smoker is nothing uncommon. people have been converting fridges to home smokers for decades. they suit the purpose very well. you can pay $400 for a fancy little piece of shit that smokes a pound of meat, or you can drop $50 on an old fridge and convert to smoker that'll do a whole side of beef.

Smoke it by the river within 30 minutes of catching it
Its just UNREAL

Actually no they are not, its a subspecies that WAS a trout waaay back in the day.
Its not an oceangoing rainbow as many seems to think.

Oh hell ya, any fresh fish is incredible. nice little pansize friers. MMMMMMM...

I'm thinkign of sticking around out in the mountains for the summer, if I do I'm heading down to the Columbia and getting me a sturgeon. in which case I'm gonna have to hit ol' Jesus H Christ up and get some infos on those sturgeon steaks he once mentioned. I haven;t forgot mofo!

There are fresh water Steelhead and ocean going Steelhead and both are known as Steelhead Trout.

Ohh i know :)
This is before it gets real technical about how many sub species each group has
Main groups being Salmon, Trout & Char

But yeah i guess with one word it would be a trout :disgust

EDIT: You are mainly fishing rivers i take it?
EDIT: 2 Ill be heading to the Ashlu river in BC Sunday for steelies :)

I'm like 10 minutes from the Columbia, just north of the border. Not really sure what's up for spots in the area, but I'll figure it out. A good friend of mine here went to school to work for the fisheries depeartment, and focused a lot of her studies around sturgeon. She loves sturgeon for some reason. She knows exactly where they are, but she won't tell me because she knows my intentions... :1orglaugh

There are a number of lakes locally and two large rivers and I fish both the lakes and the rivers. Locally there is also the ocean and the bay...both of which I fish. I have caught Steelhead in lakes as well as the rivers. I think the ones in the lakes are fresh water Steelhead only...and do not get as large as the ones in the rivers.

I am about four hours or so from the Columbia but I do not go there. An old school chum from California does go there almost every year and gets his limits every day that he is there. I am not sure of the location but I do know that he goes out with a guide. He didn't go last summer but the year prior he dropped me off about 20lbs of Sturgeon. It is a great fish for the grill.

Ya I remember what you were telling me about bait and whatnot last time to topic came up on the forum. I'll have to get out and start doing some exploring here in a bit when it warms up some more.

Had me some swordfish this afternoon. Didn't catch it myself, wasn't the one who cooked it,

but manohmanohmanohman was it good.

I cannot recall having eaten Swordfish. Is it a reasonably firm fish?

All are salmon but some go into the ocean and get more of the features.
Lake trout usually dont get to the Ocean and stay small.
I cant remember exactly what it is called but their is metamorphisis that happens when they hit salt water

If you are referring to Steelhead they do not turn into Salmon...they remain what they are and that is Steelhead Trout.

I believe all trout are salmon species, i cant remember exactly from the environmental sciences class. But they do get classified as salmon trout when they hit the salt water. Usually I can remember these useless facts..lol I just cant remember what it is exactly

either way..my fav way of cooking is on the side of the river in an iron pan with some butter...delicious

from the Canadian government website:

Quick Facts:
Scientific name: Oncorhynchus mykiss.
Steelhead were at one time considered a trout species but have been discovered by biologists to be more closely related to Pacific salmon than other trout.
The fresh water variant of steelhead is known as rainbow trout.
Unlike most other Pacific salmon, some steelhead individuals live to spawn more than once.

Pretty much says the same thing as the link I posted several posts above.

my girl does pretty much exactly the same thing when we (well, really just i) catch trout. she sometimes puts thinly diced tomatoes in there too.
