This is my favorite way to prepare any fish! Here are a couple of recipes for you. Enjoy!

Pan Fried Trout Recipe

20 min | 10 min prep

Serves 4

* 2 lbs trout (Whole or Fillets)
* 1/2 cup cornmeal
* 3 tablespoons butter
* salt & pepper

1. Rinse the trout under cold running water (or in the beautiful mountain lake/stream you caught them in).
2. Pat dry.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I take a zip lock baggie in my pack with salt/pepper/garlic powder mixed together).
4. Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet on medium-high heat.
5. Coat the trout in corn meal and shake off the excess.
6. When the butter is melted, place the coated trout, flesh side down, in the skillet.
7. Fry 4-5 minutes, then turn and fry 4-5 minutes or until the flesh is golden brown and flaky. (Trout may be seasoned with garlic or onion powder before frying if desired, I also take a lemon with me to squeeze over the top).
