Trout,,, What to do..?

[bridgdav]

I will be getting a couple of trout this week, from a mate. About 2-3lb each, so reasonably large.

The question is what to cook.. Stuffed, baked with a crust, Fillets and a sauce, Parcels...

Something different and a challenge would be nice. For 2 of us.

Any suggestions...

Wrap it in tin foil, couple of slices of orange and bake it.
Sorted.

[Wadeski]

Shred 5 spring onions, a 3 inch piece of ginger, and 3 chillies.

Crush two cloves of garlic.

Take a fish, gut it, scale it, cut 2-3 slices into the side of the fish. and soak it in rice wine or dry sherry for 30 minutes.

pat the fish dry. stuff and cover the fish with spring onions, ginger, garlic and chillies.

Steam the fish until just cooked.

While its steaming, heat some peanut oil until very hot. Remove from teh heat and add a nub of ginger (skin on) and a handfull of chillies. They will sizzle and flavour the oil.

remove the fish and place on a serving dish, surrounded by some of the flavourers (spring onions etc). If you like, you can life the fillets off the bone at this point. Replace them back on the fish if you do.

if you have any, scatter the fish with szechuan peppercorns - dont worry if you dont.

pour the hot oil over the fish JUST before you serve it. It should hit the table sizzling as the skin and vegetables crisp and curl.

serve with stir fried green leaves and boiled rice.

I have a couple of large line caught trout (big enough for 2 people each sort of size ) A few new recipes would be nice please?

The last ones were baked in buttered tin foil with slices of lemon and dill. Very tasty but its about the only way to cook a trout/seabass I know .

I await the wealth of the PH food knowledge to help me out. Cheers.

Stuff trout with butter and almonds. Also brush outside with butter and sprinkle almonds on top. Grill.

Nothing else comes close

[10 Pence Short]

The best thing with brown trout, especially natural river trout, is to do very little to it and keep any extra flavours to a minimum.

Grill with butter and eat with a slice of bread and butter, simple is best.

+1

I prefer butter on my bread to bitter though.

Nice glass of crisp dry white wine would do the job. Or a bottle of something like peroni, dry and refreshing.

Fillet them and hot smoke for 20 minutes in a heavily tin foil lined wok with a mix 1:1:2 of soft brown sugar, a smokey tea like lapsang soushong and fragrant jasmine rice.
Yummy.
