I've never cooked trout. I'm wanting to try it, even if I have to go to the grocery store to buy one as a test.

What I've read makes it look pretty simple. Butter, garlic, lemon, bake 400F for a few minutes.

What are your favorite ways that aren't too difficult for a trial run?

Cover trout in flour and fry in pan with bacon grease add fried potatoes and beans either home made or store bought and you will have a delicious shore lunch. Pick up the fried trout in your fingers and eat like an ear of sweet corn. The meat will fall off into your mouth and the bones will remain on the skeleton.

Sounds great!

Fried in a cast iron skillet with a few of your favorite spices over a campfire alongside a mountain lake or stream.
Or better yet, as youngster, I would get up before sunrise, fish the High Sierra stream and cook a couple of my catch for breakfast over an open fire. No spices, no pan, just on a stick.

Fillet them and leave the skin on. Top them with any seasoning or make an imperial crab mix and put that on top while baking. The skin keeps the meat moist. A blackening mixture is good as well.

My favorite is wrap the fish in foil a little butter and garlic. Leaves the ends of the foil open and cook over charcoal with wood chips for smoke.. I even buy a trout in Publix once in awhile and cook it that way.

Yeah, what Fin F said, by far my favorite way to prepare them, but again to each their own.

I like to use some butter, shredded carrots, zucchini or cuke. S & P the cavity wrap it in foil add a little white wine close the foil tite and throw it on the grill. when you smell the wine it's done (12-15 min)

The Great State of Texas stocks the Guadalupe River with Rainbow. We would catch them , filet them & roll them up like a carpet . I have an old cast iron cupcake pan that we just laid on top of the fire. Poured beer in the cups & put the rolled up filets in the cup. Good stuff. The kids liked them so much I did them the same way at home except I'd spray oil in the cups , salt & pepper before I rolled them up & a slab of butter on top. I put a toothpick in them to hold it together. A little lemon juice when they are done . Hard to beat.

try to keep fish alive until an hour or less before cooking. the sooner after death you cook it the better it will taste.
cut off head and tail. gut it. wash it clean. sprinkle salt and pepper on flesh. put thin lemon slices on flesh. wrap in butter coated tinfoil. cook in oven or open fire until flesh is firm. let it rest for one full minute before eating.

Hey Papa J , here are a few recipes that we have found to be excellent over the years. They are all from the cookbook Just Trout which is no longer in print. We found 2 copies online, one for each of our kids for Christmas gifts this past Christmas they were found in Abe books . You might try finding a copy as there are lots of great recipes in it.
Enjoy
