@SGTSmeg The trout I catch are originally from a Scottish lake. Loch Levin. These fish were stocked as pure stock and also hybrid with Atlantic Salmon. I’ll post a link to some incredible information from the 1930’s on the stocking program here in Canada at that time. The areas to look for are Saint John, New Brunswick, Loch Lohmand lake.
SADLY some A-Holes introduced small mouth bass into this fishery. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy fishing small mouth bass but these lakes have map now been effected by the illegal introduction of the small mouth.
Sorry for getting off track. The best way for me to prepare the fish.
Never let your fish sit. I fillet my fish, get rid of the skin (fishy smell). Pull any remaining small bones you may have missed when you filleted them. I heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil in a cast iron fry pan. Most times I cook it in the BBQ. I use salt, pepper garlic powder on the fillet then coat with a light dust of flour and fry. I also use Montreal steak spice and flour to change it up. Both are absolutely delicious with NO FISHEY flavour.
I use both these recipes on all my fish, grouse, pheasants, ducks, geese and woodcock.
Everyone I have fed this to always wants more. Most of the time I would serve all this wild game with home made deep fried fries. Mmm!
@RobMc ‘s recipe sounds great too. When you scale a fish it actually removes the scales AND fish slime removing a lot of that fishy smell.
