Re: trout

Hi Doctor I love Trout but prefer it fresh, freezing seems to affect the texture.

Many years ago when my husband was seriously ill in hospital I stayed in a cottage in Dorset with my new baby. The very kind Lady of the Manor bought a platter of oak leaves on which was displayed the most enormous rainbow trout which had been caught that morning .
I cooked it simply with butter/lemon juice /parsley and it was the most superb fish I have ever tasted. I remember it like is was yesterday...

I hope you enjoy your beautiful fish....

Re: trout

What sort of trout doc? I used to fish for brownies on the River Wear many years ago, but I used to give them away as they always tasted of earth to me!

Re: trout

rainbow plantman,,caught on the river teifi..yes they can be a bit earthy,more so in lake trout i find.

Re: trout

I love rainbow trout, have it very frequently; preferably fresh, but the frozen is OK too. I fix it very simply, just broiled, with a sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground pepper so to enjoy the delicate flavor.

I've never been a lover of trout, much prefer salmon...

Re: trout

Oooohhhhh - delightful!!! - this brings back very fond memories. Was on holiday in Slovakia. Head waiter at hotel was a keen fisherman and after supervising breakfast would disappear until around 4.00pm. He'd return with a large wicker basket filled with fresh trout which he'd sell to the restaurant and it would be on the menu for dinner that night. It was cooked on a little burner right beside your table in a magnificent red wine sauce - (YES - RED wine!!! but it tasted wonderful!!!)

Re: trout

I was married to the head water bailiff for 15yrs so sewin and trout and salmon were a common feast in our house. I haven't fished on the river for a couple of years as I was living right on the coast and I tended to go out on my friends trawler or in my house mates fishing boat to catch bass, mackerel and lots and lots of lobster.

This thread is making me hungry!

Re: trout

Hi. We get fresh lake Trout, about foot long, these are beutiful if eaten fresh, but like another poster , seem to lose that nice taste as soon as they are frozen.
