To be honest Ron, I like them best dredged in seasoned flour and pan fried with the skin and heads on.<br /><br />Yummmmm crispy skin.

Try to trade 'em for walleye, crappie, or blue cat. Much better eating.

Re: Rainbow trout???

I kind of agree. There’s not much in the way of freshwater fish with a taste that can compete with saltwater fish. I suppose with enough spice and stuff to disguise the flavor they are ok.

Cut them in 2" slices, get the fry baby real hot, drop in for 1 minute and get the dressing ready. Plain, simple, and fast.<br />My 3 girls loved them that way.<br />No worry about bone etc.

No bones that way? Does the hot oil soften them enough to eat them?

Cut off the heads.<br /> throw some garlic and butter on the inside along with a couple of thin sliced pieces of lemon.<br />wrap in aluminum foil and throw on grill for 5-7 minutes.<br />Great way to eat them. works great when camping too.

Don't forget to remove the scales before cooking.

Throw a couple of orange slices in the cavity, sprinkle a little dill on top, wrap in foil and place on the BBQ or in the oven. Serve it with wild rice and your favorite wine.<br /><br />Or, filet them, dip them in a beer batter and fry them in a pan in about 2 inches of Crisco. Cook up some spaghetti in tomatoe sauce with hot italian sausage. Place a filet on a plate and cover it with the spaghetti. Cover the spaghetti with American cheese and microwave the dish until the cheese has completly melted. Serve with and a cold beer.

I think that attempting to fillet a trout like you would another species would be a mistake.

Trout skin is very thin and the scales (skin) don't need to come off before cooking, it is much easier to peel it off when it's served.

Re: Rainbow trout???

Everyone has there own way to cook trout, now heres mine,I fillet them the best i can, normally in what ever size falls off,rollem up in a paper towel,put in fridge over night,this drys them out alittle,then roll them in a beer batter and stab the pieces with a tooth pick, twirl them too get rid of excess batter... deep fry.... very good this way

YUP! The only way I can stand eating them stinking Fins!<br />Add a couple slices of onion and yum yum! <br />Without onions is ok also!
