What's a good way to prepare trout for breakfast?

Answer 1

This is a recipe my husband makes us for breakfast. It's really good and pretty simple.

Trout Fried with Oatmeal
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup shortening, or a combination of oil and butter
4 trout
Salt and pepper to taste
lemon wedges

Pour the milk in a large deep plate and spread the oatmeal on a piece of wax paper. If you want a finer-textured oatmeal, whirl the rolled oats in a food processor.
Put the shortening in a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Dip each trout in the milk and then in oatmeal, coating each side completely. Put the trout in the hot shortening and turn the heat down to medium-high. Salt and pepper the trout and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then turn the trout and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on the other side. Remove from pan and serve with lemon wedges.

Answer 2

OOOOoooh! If you try this, you will not forget this meal.

--2 whole 8- to 10-ounce fresh trout
--1/4 cup kosher salt (or any coarse salt)
--Hickory or other wood chips for grilling
--2 big sprigs of rosemary

--3 tablespoons soft butter
--1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

Rinse trout thoroughly in water, then place in a big nonreasctive bowl or pan. Add the salt and 2 qts of water. Cover and chill 24 hours.

Place 2 or 3 handfuls of the aromatic wood chips in a (clean) sinkful of cold water and soak at least 30 minutes, but overnight is good. About an hour before you want to eat, build an indirect barbecue fire by placing the charcoal to one side of the kettle of the grill. When the charcoal is gray-white, drain the wood chips and toss them onto the fire. Oil the grill, cover the kettle, and leave the fire 5 to 10 minutes.

Remove trout from brine, drain, and rinse under cold water. With a sharp knife, remove the heads (if leaving them on is going to bother you or your guests), and slit them down the center (on the inside) along the backbone to "butterfly" them.

Place the fish skin-side-down on the grill, AWAY from the hot coals so that they are cooking over indirect heat. Lay the rosemary sprigs on top. Cover the grill and let the trout smoke for about 40 minutes, or until just cooked through.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mox the chopped rosemary with the soft butter.

Remove the trout from the grill. Cut each in half lengthwise (so, half a trout per person as a breakfast serving) and serve hot, topped with the rosemary butter.

I can't even tell you how good this is. Wish I could come along!

A fresh trout for breakfast has to be one of the more wonderful things in life. Especially if you live where it is plentiful. One of the best breakfast I ever had was found in a roadside coffee shop high up in the rockies. The trout was butterflied, dipped in cornmeal and sauteed lightly (trout should be treated tenderly) with a drizzle of warm butter and parsley. Fresh biscuits came with honey and two eggs sunny side up. Fresh hot coffee with little pitchers of cream. We wanted it to last forever.

Answer 4

for me? throw the trout away and go out to breakfast. Fish...they are disgusting.

Answer 5

My dad always fried them in oil plus made fried potatoes and eggs to go with the trout.

Answer 6

Very simple method--excellent results. Clean fish, cut off head, fins, tail. Place in microwave dish proportionate to size of fish. Add about teaspoon of butter for 8 oz. fish, sprinkle fish with garlic salt. Cover dish with plastic wrap. Microwave till cooked, turn over once-- you want it to be solid and flaky, but not too dry. This works well for other fish also, such as salmon, halibut, etc.

Answer 7

put blueberrys in the middle and some butter pack it in mud. Put it in the fire till the mud is dry. Crack the mud off and you got the best breakfast you'll ever have. Clean mud of course thats North/South Dakota , Montana (Lakota)style the steam cooks it perfect

Answer 8

Maybe it's just me, but I'd cook it. Split open (semi-filleted) and grilled is my preference with trout.

Answer 9

At the campfire.....just wrap the gutting fish in tin-foil and put it in the hot coals for about 20 minutes. You're grand.

Answer 10

I despise all fish, but my fiancee loves all fish, and he likes omelets...so I would say substitute trout for whatever meat you use in your omelet.
