I know you chop off the head, how do you scale it, and what are the steps? Costco has a great deal on Rainbow Trout. They are huge but with the heads still on which intimidates me. Rainbow Trout is my favorite. However, I don't know what to do before I get them into the oven to bake them.

Usually, the trout in the store has been cleaned, gutted, and scaled, but the head and tail are still on. If you see any scales left, you can scrape them off with a knife. You can cook the fish with the head and tail (unless it gives you the creeps). Just pat the fish dry, inside and out. If you're going to pan fry it, season with salt and pepper inside and out, and coat the outside with a mix of flour and cornmeal before frying. If you're going to bake it, you can stuff it with cooked veggies (onion, peppers, spinach plus cooked bacon is nice) before baking. My favorite is pan fried for breakfast!
