If you are talking about fresh water trout, browns, rainbows or brooks, it is best to catch and release them. If you must, gut & gill them and fry them in butter with the heads on. Eat only the meat, not the head or the skin. The bones will pull right out when you pull the head off while it is on your plate. I know this because I ate them in the fifties but not sense. If you are talking about salt water specks/spots or sand trout, fillet them out and fry them like most fish.

asmith2139, I'm not sure where are located but if I can help you out in anyway, let me know. Right now I'm in South Padre Island, TX. and will be until the first week in March. I live in SE MN., in the heart of the Driftless Region, one of the best trout fishing areas in the US.
