This is the best instruction I've seen on how to pan-fry trout! I watched it, then cooked three trout in my iron skillet. It went exactly as you described, and it was the best and easiest time I've ever fried trout! Tasty... and not a single bone went into my mouth. Made it far more enjoyable to eat. Thanks so much. I now know how to fry trout.
I find that butter overpowers the taste of the trout. The trout does not have a fishy taste at all. Just good ol salt, pepper and high heat oil to crispy the skin and that’s all it takes. I highly recommend leaving out the butter and lemon juice. Maybe make that on the side to baste after it’s cooked. Try it out!
Burnt the trout first, then violated it while deboning - - - what a horrid presentation! I knew it was going to be a disaster when I saw him putting the Real (?) Lemon on the buttered pan!
I cooked Trout many years ago and I'm sure I burnt the skin once or twice but it's the inside I'm after anyway. You have a very easy way of cooking it. That cast iron can get hot and stay hot for awhile. I'll have to look for some some Lemon salt I think you called it or lemon spice maybe....never heard of it. Thank you!
Caught my first fish yesterday and my friend taught me how to clean it but he hates trout so he didn't have any recommendations for cooking it :) thanks for the vid :D
Thanx bud, this is exactly what i was looking for.. i cleaned my trout, but I forgot how mom cooked them after that, I know she didnt fillet them..this is how she did it!
good stuff but if I could make one recommendation; butter should be the last thing you add to the pan after you've flipped the fish over; to prevent the butter from burning up and making a black burnt mess. Use unsalted butter too because it burns at a much slower rate than salted butter
@@JasonKavetis preheat the pan med-high heat for a bit then add a oil so the oil won’t burn so fast. Wait till it’s ready (wet your hand and flick a bit of water at the pan if you hear the oil sizzle it’s ready). Drop the fish on and don’t move or flip the fish for about 4 minutes. When it’s ready to flip you’ll know bc it will naturally release from the pan and won’t stick to the pan. So if you feel it sticking just wait another minute. Once you flip add a few slices of butter to the pan and maybe some fresh garlic cloves if you have em, and tilt the pan a bit n use a spoon to pour that melted butter over the fish as it cooks. After another 4 minutes on the flipped side you should be good to go 🤌🏼
If im out in the Bush hunting Moose we normally spend about a hour or two at river that opens to a small lake And get a few brook trout And do pan fry However if its a whole weekend of fishing We take about 20 filets and salt And brown sugar them with Liquid smoke for 2 days And hand dry them in a smoker Amazing taste
as a gen z i was born very old fashioned an live on an old dirt road in Maine. not even 18 yet and we've mostly lived off land. real simple recipes. flour, oil(or butter) any type of bread crumbs, and the fish.
Yes you want to burn them so much very tasty! The longer you leave them on the skillet the better the skin tastes! I do 15 minutes per side as hot as the pan will get
Save the lemon pepper on after you fry it if you want the skin crispy and don't want it to burn up ,the seasoning is burning 1 cause the heat is to high and two because if your going to coat them in seasoning use deeper oil.
You’re gonna have to eat that skin it’s gonna be really good. Pause. For you. Nutrients ( Nutria ) maybe. I can’t stop laughing 😂. I can’t wait to see him eat this.
man what was all that stuff in the pan before you started cooking? looked unclean really. kinda gross. and then you ruined and i mean ruined the fish. burned outside and undercooked inside. wow
You started well, "theses trout came from a local stream..." then you used lemon juice from a bottle and then I shut you off. I thought, anyone who doesn't know where natural lemon juice comes from has no job telling me how to cook anything.
