@cruz1742 Olive oil and butter are good for you. You ought to educate yourself before spewing ignorance. Fats are healthy and necessary unlike the carbs I'm sure you stuff your face with
Did research canvassing populations in PA. We only found brook trout populations in like 3 or 4 tributaries out of maybe 30 total. Browns in every damn one
Love this! Eating your caught meal is half the fun. Makes catching them a lot more fun for me knowing I’m getting a tasty meal as well. Let me know how it turns out! My ig is Rich_Knisley if you want to send a pic. Cheers!
When i go fishing i catch one for my dog and cook his trout without seasoning. He loves to go fishing and gets excited when i cook fish. Man's best friends gotta eat good too
Too greasy for me. I gut mine while I’m on the water clean it well then throw on ice. Bring home and fillet them take the bones out too. But leave the skin. Season add bits of onion sliced lemons sliced potatoes and brush some garlic olive oil on both sides. Season everything again throw on the bbq skin side down just like that and let it cook. It’s my go to way to prepare any salmon or trout especially if the meats nice and orange. Whiter meat I might changed it up but I’ve had people tell me it’s the best fish they’ve ever had from big rainbows with nice orange meat. Everyone loves the skin too once you convince them to try it.
@@TheUrbanHunter. I think the most "exotic" freshwater fish I've had is walleye and I love it, especially fried. Salmon is decent, but not my favorite. I wish I lived in an area where I could find it somewhere on the menu or even at the store. Too suburban around me. That or get into fishing haha
Pro tip: instead of forking the meat off the bone, just pinch the spine where u cut off the head and lift up. Helps to support it with a spatula, but the meat will slide off the bone. Flip the filet and spine that you have on your fingertips and lay it down skin side down. Lift the spine again and you have 2 filets. Just take off the fins and 99% of the time have 2 clean filets.
My favorite is to fillet it and remove skin. Rub on Mayo. Sprinkle on salt and pepper. Rolling pin on bag of potato chips... coat fish in ground potato chips. Pan Fry in cast iron skillet with one full bar of salted butter and a little olive oil and try not to tell me that's not the best pan fried trout you've ever had in your fishing life. Caveat: I wouldn't recommend eating this more than once a year since it may help to kill you.
@@MRBJT51 Literally every race eats the whole fish except white people. Fillets are such a waste of the whole fish. Only white people would find the rest of the fish inedible, while the rest of the world knows better.
Hi, lots of fisherman swear by frying them in batter like the takeaway’s from fish & chips! Personally I like them either smoked or bottled. I tried cooking then whole but could not get a utensil large enough. As we hunt for our steelheads during their runs from the lake up the rivers to spawn during our winter, I like to dry them overnight in rock salt, wash and dry them, rub in a little drop of sesame oil and rub them with Manukau Honey mixed with a bit of Whiskey. Let them dry a bit and then smoke them using sawdust from used wine oak barrels or Manukau sawdust. Beautiful to eat. Bottled trout should be kept sealed for six months and then eaten, great tucker. Cheers mate. Harera
Wow. Thats a hell of a process and sounds awesome. One of the reasons I love fishing for trout/salmon is because a local in Canada let me try some of their smoked fish and it was one of the best things I had ever eaten. That sounds incredible my friend.
@@TheUrbanHunter.Hi, glad you liked my splurge! The best smoked fish I ever had was a striped marlin we caught and smoked. Those beautiful chunks kept our family in fish for a year. Our Pacific salmon from pristine waters are really good and healthy. What I love about hunting fish or game in this country is the absence of bears and snakes. What we have to be careful of in the bush and mountains is weather turning suddenly, deep natural holes in the ground and idiots! Cheers mate. Harera
Rainbows lose all color within about 15 mins of expiring. We put the fish on ice alive and drive 30 mins home on a 30 degree day. Other trout seem to fare better.
Rainbow trout have fine scales , I was camping up at Montebello camp ground and seen a old man and his son eating fresh trout and told him about the scales after he'd been eating them for a couple days .
@@TheUrbanHunter. fish, chicken, you name it. Not sure I've fried anything that wasn't better in beef tallow. In case you haven't used it before; it doesn't really impart any kind of beef flavor, it just tastes a little better than most seed or vegetable oils IMO.
@@TheUrbanHunter. I hadn’t seen it in the comments. For neutral oils, you could go canola, vegetable, peanut, grape seed, avocado, for example. Olive oil is great, just gotta keep it medium heat or lower because it smokes at a low temp.
100% after cooking will leave you with much more meat and much less time wasted. The meat sticks to the bone before cooking. After cooking it falls right off.
Looks good but I would never cook with extra virgin olive oil. Coconut oil goes really well with rainbow trout. Otherwise use lard, beef tallow, or ghee. Really high heat to crisp the skin perfectly.
Why do you season the skin just to tear it off? If you use a rough sponge you can scrape all the little scales off and then season it and then eat the skin too
It soaks in some. We definitely do eat the skin sometimes. Just wanted to show the meat coming off the bone. Sometimes we score the trout as well and eat it in chunks with the skin on. Just depends on the mood I’m in and how hungry I am. Sometimes the dog gets a lot.
@@TheUrbanHunter. you just ride the spine on one side or the other, good for grilling larger trout too, spine and bones will pull right out if your gentle with it after its cooked
Are you serious? I’m a 51 year old angler from Louisiana. We have such a variety of different species of fish. I’ve caught and cooked everything from blue gill to blue marlin. I’ve cooked fish in so many ways I can’t even count, but I have NEVER heard of eating scales! Rainbow trout have been introduced to our state, and being and angler all my life, I was determined to learn how to catch them! That took me 3 fishing trips to figure out, but I got it now! Now I’m trying to gain knowledge on the best way to cook them, and people are telling me not to scale them! This is going to interesting.... You try to eat a fish from Louisiana, the Mississippi River, or even the Gulf of Mexico, with the scales left on, and your going to be in trouble! One person said, “I find them much crunchier with the scales left on”. I said, I guess you do!! You must have teeth like a grizzly! Lol... I guess the worst case scenario, I can just peel the skin and all away once their cooked... But if I’m going to do that, I just assume baking them in the oven, it’s less mess. But, the cooked skin does look very delicious. I just can’t see eating scales. That’s crazy. What makes a rainbow scales different from any other fish? I got questions...
@@airadaimagery692lol. Very serious. Obviously if I cook a largemouth, crappie, walleye, bluegill or whatever with the skin on, you have the scale them. Trout and salmon sales are like microscopic. When you eat the skin you wouldn’t even know the fish has scales. Give it a shot. Best to make it a little crispy if you can. It’s like a chip. Anyone trying to take scales off a trout/salmon species is just wasting their time.
@@TheUrbanHunter. yes, I did see a scale. It was very tiny. I was thinking there’s no way I’ll be able to scale these fish, in any reasonable amount of time... But, this is good news! Will soon find out. Thanks! Where in the world are you from?
The skin is my favorite part...so tasty 😁
So good!
Not when its a soggy mess like that tho. Also Olive oil is not neutral cooking oil.
@@redrobotmonkeywelcome to the internet, don't be an asshole dude
@@redrobotmonkeytaste better
@@redrobotmonkeyevery time someone gives me a more "neutral" cooking oil it tastes stronger to me than olive oil lol

So delicious my fam always baked trout this way
Thanks for the comment. We have definately cooked it that way. Super good.
Butter sauce with a fish garnish
Great idea
Grease from farm fed them plus more grease with butter!,, poor liver!,,,
@cruz1742 Olive oil and butter are good for you. You ought to educate yourself before spewing ignorance. Fats are healthy and necessary unlike the carbs I'm sure you stuff your face with
Not an idea. Thats what you made brother 😂
Just caught my first two brook trout today and I cooked them just like this! It was delicious. The best tasting fish I've ever had.
Awesome. Such beautiful fish too. I have yet to catch one.
Usually only eat the browns and rainbows. Brookies have been getting slammed population wise by the brown trout.
Did research canvassing populations in PA. We only found brook trout populations in like 3 or 4 tributaries out of maybe 30 total. Browns in every damn one
skin is the best part! just cook a little longer to crip it up 💪🏽
Forsure man.
Yea fish taste better when it gang bangs
I've always baked my trout. gotta try it pan fried
I’ll have to try baking it!
Just caught some today! Can’t wait to try this

Love this. We always give her the skin and the scraps. Those omega fatty acids are great for their coat.
Bonus points if you score the outside and pack more seasoning in there
We definately do that sometimes!
Wow! Love this video! So helpful
Thanks! :)
my goodness it looks good!
Thanks it was!
Looks delicious 😋
Thanks!
Just caught a 6 lbs rainbow at my local lake! Will try! Thanks
Have fun!
Good man added the head 😊
Yes sir!
Try it without the olive oil...just use butter. Throw in some sliced or slivered almonds to the butter to brown with the fish.
You can thank me later.
Alright we will give it a try

Yeah we eat the skin sometimes. We filet them if they are big enough, but small trout we just cook whole and eat the meat off. Sounds good though!
Rainbow trout is truly a great fish
Totally agree
Thanks for the tutorial, i caught my first big rainbow trout today and I did this and it was delicious
Yoo. Love to hear this! Awesome.
looks pretty fire ngl
It slapped
That looks insanely fire
Thanks! We love cooking out trout like this.
@@TheUrbanHunter. I have never had it, I've tried a great variety of fish but for some reason never trout. I need to start fishing and cooking my own
Definitely have to add that to your list! Trout/Salmon are really tasty and healthy fish to eat.

@@desmotankerI hear you. Being far inland is tough to keep things fresh. We do a bit of Great Lakes fishing when we can.
I do it like this also but I add about 2 or 3 cuts so it can cook better
I do that too, especially if they are thick trout. This guy was pretty small so I wasn’t as concerned with even cooking. But good suggestion.
Not enough oil
JK looks fire af. I was going to cook in oven but I’ll do this instead
Let me know how it goes!

Been cooking them this way for years for a reason!
I do this with small bluefish during the summer months. Just garlic and olive oil though. I’ve never trout. I only saltwater fish. Gotta try
Blue runner? I’ve seen a couple guys eat those but mostly for bait. I’m sure most fish are good cooked sautéed in some oil. Cheers brother 🤙🏻
Looks good

Just cooked this for the wifey. All sudeen was in my feed LoL
Meant to be
Nice, thanks
Welcome
I usually dont use butter on my trout bc i figure it cancels out the health benefits
Partially true. You still get all the fatty acids but you def get more fat from the butter. It’s not a lot though. Most of it melts and drips off.
Lol butter is very healthy...
@@6876I lol, not for people with high cholesterol
Small tip, use regular olive oil when cooking. Extra virgin has more flavor and is better for things like dressings.
Interesting thought. Thanks!
Thanks!
Welcome!
Try over a bbq then add the butter after to melt into it while it's hot
Bbq trout… that’s a new one. Interesting.
Ra8nbow is the best tasting fish God ever created
They are really great fish.
Nice

Rainbow trout have fine scales , I was camping up at Montebello camp ground and seen a old man and his son eating fresh trout and told him about the scales after he'd been eating them for a couple days .
They do. We can easily digest them though. You never know it when you’re eating the skin.
@TheUrbanHunter. thanks for your reply , I've eaten some myself , we eat alot of trout 👍
I always thought that vegetable, canola, corn oil.was neutral.flavored oil. Did not think olive oil was considered a neutral flavored oil.
I’ve been proven that olive oil is not neutral on this video many times now lol
👍🔥🔥
Thanks!
Where u get that seasoning?😊
I think it’s on Amazon. You can get it in several stores. Everglades Fish & Chicken
Give it all to the dog
She got her cut
How do you feed grass to your butter?
Same way you get grass fed beef
Cook that in grass fed beef tallow one time and you'll never go back
Fish in beef tallow? First I’ve heard of that. Doesn’t sound bad.

No one else has said it so I’m gonna say it. Olive oil is NOT a neutral oil
A lot of other people have said it lol. I’ve been corrected. My mistake
@@TheUrbanHunter. I hadn’t seen it in the comments. For neutral oils, you could go canola, vegetable, peanut, grape seed, avocado, for example. Olive oil is great, just gotta keep it medium heat or lower because it smokes at a low temp.
At the end of the day, should I pull the ribs out before cooking or is it just that much easier to pull off after cooked?
100% after cooking will leave you with much more meat and much less time wasted. The meat sticks to the bone before cooking. After cooking it falls right off.
@@TheUrbanHunter. thank you very much for the tips 👍
No problem
I'm going to cook them like this on the river with a cast iron... Thanks
Oh hell ya
Man that would be so good right now
I could also go for some fresh trout right now…
He's got too many favourite things in one video
Lol. My wife says I say that too much.
Gotta eat the tail man. Best part
I heard they crunch like chips. I just gave the scraps to the dog. Those omega fatty acids are great for their coat.
Grilling is the best way. No exception
We cooked some browns over a campfire in Georgia a couple months ago. That was really fun.
The skin is my favorite part to eat
We eat it sometimes. Especially if it’s crispy from a campfire cook. Cheers
Trout and pike cooked on fire is the best 👍🏽
Yeah for sure
Start at the vent 😂
That’s what it’s called lol
I came to fish today and one guy got 4 and he gave them to me , I will cook one today
That’s some good luck right there. Let me know how it goes.
Looks good but I would never cook with extra virgin olive oil. Coconut oil goes really well with rainbow trout. Otherwise use lard, beef tallow, or ghee. Really high heat to crisp the skin perfectly.
Good recommendations. I choose olive because I like the healthy fats in it. Lard burns at a lower temperature so I don’t use that too much. Thanks

How do I know if fish is safe to eat from my local freshwater ponds?
Hey! Thats really impossible for me to say. If it looks like a healthy pond I would assume they are safe to eat.
How do you prevent the fish from curling? Iv cut the head off used oil and butter different amounts of it, but every time my trout curls.
That’s interesting. I’ve actually never had a trout curl up on me lol. Even when it’s just filets.
LEAVE THE SKIN!!!
We are some but give a lot to our dog since the skin has a lot of fatty acids that are good for her coat.

@@TheUrbanHunter. trout is good
How do you cook it for each side of the fish
Probably a min or so each side for a fish this size
Thanks man
How do I clean the slime off at the trout?
Just give them a rinse off. They aren’t particularly slimy fish like say a catfish. It’s not much of a concern.
will time to go fishing in alaska again1
I’d really love to sometime
I cant trust someone who has over 2 favorite things in life lol
Did I say favorite twice? Lol
Best eat trout rain bow trout
Yep!
Everglades? Do you watch deer meat
Lol. Believe it or not I do, and he got me using this stuff several years ago. Been using it since.
Do you scale the trout?
You would want to
Trout have really tiny scales. You just eat them.
I tried to feed my butter grass it didn’t work out
Idk why everyone can’t just assume I’m talking about grass fed cows since that’s where the butter comes from lol
Season the skin, bake the fish, throw the skin away?
Sauté the fish. Which has the seasoning in the liquid. Trust me it gets in the meat :)
What u doing with the heads
We picked the little bits of meat out then gave to our dog
Cook y’all fish at 140 degrees no matter what
I’m sure she was over 140. Fish cook really fast since they’re lean. Totally agree.
Not to be that guy but you said neutral cooking oil and olive oil is certainly not considered a neutral oil. Still good stuff though
Yeah there’s been about 10 guys tell me that now… thanks.
A trout that size would be good to butterfly, alot more flavor penetration, less oil and no butter skin would get crispy meat would blacken
I’ve never butterflied a trout. Have you? I feel like it would be hard to cut right down the little spine to get it in half.
@@TheUrbanHunter. you just ride the spine on one side or the other, good for grilling larger trout too, spine and bones will pull right out if your gentle with it after its cooked
