My brother and I caught a few large rainbow trout (16 and 18 inches). The only fish I ever kept in the past was bass and perch, which we fillet. I have tried cooking a few trout before but they never turned out that great. They were smaller fish though. What is a good way to cook these fish? Thanks, NICK.

cut in chunks and use as coon and mink bait. I personally do not like trout that have been stucked because they taste like the food they are fed.

Here is what I do:
Gut the trout but leave the head on.
Remove the gills by just cutting the attachment under the chin and twisting them out.
With your finger, dig out the large blood clot under the spine.
Place the trout on aluminum foil.
Add a little (1 tsp) of oil or a pat of butter.
Add water to cover about 1/3 of the fish.
Season: Salt, pepper, oregono, Cajun...whatever you like.
Close the foil. (Wrap the fish)
Cook on the grill for about 20 minutes (or in the oven for about 30 minutes.) (When the eyes turn white, the fish is done.)
Squirt on some lemon juice and you are good to go.
Trout have "rib" bones toward the front but the back 2/3 is a nice filet.

Rainbow Trout are excellent fish for eating. But, save the head for pocket sets for mink & coon. They seem to love trout. Don't believe a word of what snaringamerica said about trout not being fit to eat.
Gut the trout and cut off the head. Lay it on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle it generously with lemon pepper.
Put pats of butter or margarine all over the fish.
Broil until fish is flaky.
To eat: Squirt lemon juice on fish. Dip in melted butter or margarine.
My father in law used to grill larger trout in much the same way. I once asked him how he knew when the fish was done. He answered, "2 martinis to a side".

Gut, remove the gills, throw in a hot skillet with butter, salt and pepper and onions.
Drizzle lemon juice on to taste when eating.

When it comes to eating trout I am very particular. Trout are slimy and in my opinion give a fishy smell and taste. I have found that this odor/taste can be eliminated by scaling them and cutting off the head and fins and tail. Pat them dry, cook any way you wish and they are delicious. Smoked trout is the best as they are oily also.

Snaring was referring to stocked trout.

and in my opinion give a fishy smell and taste.

But what kind of trout do you have down there that you have to scale them!

'bout the only way they are fit to eat is smoked. If you have to eat a trout any other way, make sure it is a seatrout.

Gut the fish and clean out the inside throughly, roll the fish in drakes dry batter. Cook a pound of bacon in a large cast iron skillet remove the bacon and drop in the fish. Eat the skin and everything. If you can get your hands on wild asparagus, fiddlehead ferns, or morels to eat with them you'll be doing pretty good.

you got the right idea w/ them ferns , musky! nothin' better than a couple of brookies and some ferns ( early spring , before they open up)w/ some baby red pot. , that's choice lickins'!
everyone has thier own opinion ,but some of you guys were pretty hard on the trout . i've always thought a trout was one of the mildest fish out there. try this:
get a large cassarole dish,
add: a hunk'o butter, 1/4 cup beer or wht. wine, 1/4 cup water
prep fish:
gut and wash as explained in the other posts,
salt, pepper ,and garlic powder fish (inside & out). stuff fish w/ onions, butter , and a slice of lemon.
pre-heat oven to 350
put fish in dish and cover w/ foil or lid
bake 20-30 min. (depending on the size)
trout are done when you poke them and you leave an indentation in the fish.
reserve any liquid left in dish.
eating: turn the fish away from you and using a fork poke along the spine lifting the fillet upward until you can completely flip it over. at this point, grab the tail and lift up. the skeleton should pull away from the other fillet.
pour the reserve juice over the trout and feast!!!!
