I brought home some nice rainbow trout the other day and I don't have any idea how to cook it. Lol

Any ideas? I cooked one whole with lemon/dill seasoning and butter in the cavity wrapped in foil baked in the oven. It was Ok but not my favorite.

I tried to fillet another one and fry it. It was lots better but I wasted lots of meat getting all the bones out.

Pan fry it with butter then pull the bone out after it is cooked. One of my favs is to stuff them with Crab Meat.

Gut it, remove the head and tail and then wrap it in some aluminum foil with some butter and lemon juice and put it right in to a fire for a couple minutes. That is my favorite way to eat trout. The meat just pulls right off the skin. I like it better in the fire than in the oven.

I'm telling you they make better bait than they do table fare 

I've got one in the smoker now. I put a lemon/ dill seasoning on it with lemon slices and some butter then loosely put some foil around it.

I also have a corned beef smoking so if the fish sucks I'll eat that.

no way id ever put fish in my smoker

Y?

One I am not a huge fish fan. Ive also read that if you hot smoke fish, the oils will end up in your smoker and other meals can have a fishy taste.

deep fried trout /w some sort of Cajun breading.  

I will only eat them filleted.  When I cook them I grill them on a salt plate or cedar plank then add lemon pepper or other spices.  The salt plate is the ticket though.

Get a dehydrator and put your seasoned filleted trout in for approximately 24 hours. Remove and enjoy with your vender pack Slim Jims...LMAO!

I've found the best thing to do with Trout is to give it away!

Best thing to do is put em back, catch them another day or let someone else catch and eat them.

99% of them don't survive in our lakes once the water temps warm up. 

This month's issue of Field & Stream has a rainbow trout recipe. Looks awesome.
